Variety description

10 August 2026

The Artal variety is characterized as high-yielding and well-adapted. In breeding trials, it serves as a benchmark for evaluating dry matter yield, crude protein content, and levels of acid detergent fiber and neutral detergent fiber.

In phytochemical studies, the variety is used in the analysis of flavonoid composition, specifically acylated apigenin glycosides contained in the aboveground part of the plants.
