Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is tetraploid, which ensures the formation of larger and succulent leaves with an increased sugar content. It is characterized as late-maturing, which allows for extending the green forage harvesting period until the end of spring, while the plant demonstrates rapid regrowth after mowing or grazing.

The plant possesses good resistance to diseases, including rust and Septoria, and high winter hardiness. The variety is suitable for grazing, silage and hay harvesting, as well as use as green manure. It develops optimally on drained loamy soils, withstanding short-term waterlogging.
