Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety was obtained through selection from a population of the local Romagnola ecotype. The plant possesses high yield potential and a good spring growth rate, providing high-quality raw material for dairy cattle diets.

Distinctive features include a high proportion of leaves with a relatively low proportion of stems, which minimizes losses during hay harvesting and increases protein digestibility. The variety is characterized by resistance to lodging, a complex of diseases, and good winter hardiness.

The recommended seeding rate is 25–35 kg/ha. The variety possesses a pronounced soil coverage index and longevity in stands.
