Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is an annual herbaceous plant of the Fabaceae family. It was selected from the spontaneous flora of Sardinia in the Pratosardo area in 1993 and underwent multi-year selection at an experimental farm.

The primary purpose of the variety is its use as a forage crop for extensive livestock farming on pastures. The plant is capable of self-seeding, which ensures long-term maintenance of the stand.

Studies confirm that the variety possesses an increased protein content compared to a number of clover species traditionally grown in the Mediterranean climate. The potential for its use in the phytoremediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals is also being studied.
