Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the group of early diploid ryegrasses, although it is relatively late-maturing within this group. The plant forms a dense sward intended for intensive use.

The variety demonstrates high productivity both during spring grazing and when mown for silage. Due to its versatility and consistently high yield performance, it is widely used to improve the productivity of forage lands in temperate climate conditions.
