Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the Provence-type alfalfa and was developed with a focus on systems involving livestock grazing. The variety name is associated with specific dry Mediterranean steppe landscapes.

The variety possesses the ability to adapt to various soil conditions, including nutrient-poor soils. The crude protein content in the forage exceeds 19%.

In comparative trials, the variety demonstrates average or low productivity and may possess lower resistance to prolonged drought compared to other varieties. At present, the variety is considered an object of genetic resources and may not be a modern commercial standard.
