Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety possesses resistance to Verticillium wilt; in some studies, this indicator is defined as moderate. The variety is characterized by a low content of hard seeds, the share of which is less than 1%.

In agronomic studies, the variety was examined in the context of controlling pest populations, such as Acyrthosiphon pisum and Empoasca fabae. Indicators of dry matter yield and forage quality depending on water stress were also studied.

The variety is intended for traditional forage use, including hay production and livestock grazing.
