The variety is a tetraploid form of Italian ryegrass. It is intended for producing high-quality silage and organizing early livestock grazing, and is frequently used in high-yielding grass mixtures.

The plant possesses early growth rates in the spring period and high productivity, demonstrating significant yield indicators in the first cut. The variety is characterized by high metabolizable energy output potential, which determines its high nutritional value.

This variety is classified as winter-hardy and possesses good resistance to the main diseases of cereal grasses. It is intended for intensive use, including multiple cuts and grazing.
