Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the turf type and is distinguished by its genetically dark green leaf color and high stand density. The breeding of the variety was aimed at increasing resistance to a complex of diseases, including leaf spot, crown rust, Fusarium, red thread, and Pythium root rot.

This variety served as the basis for the creation of subsequent specialized modifications, such as Brightstar SLT with increased salt and heat tolerance, as well as Brightstar II. In the professional community, the variety is evaluated primarily through indicators of turf cover quality.
