Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is diploid and was obtained as a result of selection from a combination of breeding lines Combi and Tiara. The variety has an intermediate heading date, but is distinguished by an early start of spring growth, which ensures an early first cut.

The plant has good resistance to lodging, powdery mildew, and leaf scald. Due to its winter hardiness and productivity, the variety is used for the production of high-quality silage and for inclusion in intensive hay and pasture grass mixtures.

The high quality of the stand ensures good palatability of the forage for animals. The variety is characterized by a high dry matter yield and good nutritional value.
