Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is tetraploid, which determines its primary orientation toward forage production. The plant possesses excellent adaptability, maintaining the ability to produce biomass during periods when other grass species enter a dormant state due to heat.

Albion is intended primarily for forage purposes, including pasture use, haymaking, and silage production. It is suitable for feeding all types of farm animals, providing a large amount of nutritious forage mass.
