Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety was used as source material for the development of other Canadian bird's-foot trefoil varieties. In scientific research, it was applied to evaluate seed germination energy and resistance to stress factors, and it also served as a standard when comparing dry matter yield indicators.

In comparative trials, the variety demonstrated the ability to germinate under various temperature regimes. In nematode infestation experiments, a relatively low pest population density was noted, although results varied depending on external conditions.

In some registries, the variety is marked as not intended for cultivation for forage purposes, which indicates its potential use for ornamental purposes, for turfing, or as a component of lawn mixtures.
