Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is tetraploid, which ensures high productivity compared to diploid varieties. The plant is characterized by rapid development and allows for harvest as early as the first year of sowing.

The variety is resistant to cold, drought, and intensive trampling by animals. It is distinguished by high forage quality, which is maintained during late mowing dates, and responds well to nitrogen fertilizer application.

Intended for livestock pasture, use in multi-species grass mixtures, and decorative purposes on lawns. It prefers deep, irrigated soils, but is also productive on clay soils.

The recommended seeding rate for pure sowing is 50 kg/ha; in mixtures, it is 12–15 kg/ha. Sowing is carried out in autumn or spring.
