Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a tetraploid annual crop characterized by early maturity, rapid emergence for the first grazing, and high seed germination energy. The plants possess dense tillering and wide leaves; the seeds are distinguished by a relatively large size.

The variety is intended for intensive grazing, as well as for hay and silage harvesting. It effectively suppresses weeds at the early stages of growth due to rapid rooting. Recommended for cultivation in zones with good soil fertility and annual precipitation levels from 450 mm. May be referred to under the synonym Amplify.
