Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is known under the names Altfranken, Altfranken Schmidt, and Altfranken Steinbach, which refer to various breeding lines or seed producers certified in the 1960s. In agronomic studies of that period, the variety was used as a reference for evaluating productivity.

The plant has a development cycle standard for the species and is intended for forage purposes. Resistance studies showed the variety is susceptible to infestation by the stem nematode Ditylenchus dipsaci. Specific morphological descriptions are absent in the publications; the variety belongs to traditional types of alfalfa.
