Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety was developed at the Fleischmann Rudolf Research Institute in Hungary. The breeding process involved progeny testing from open pollination and long-term field trials with frequent mowing to select the most hardy and long-lived genotypes.

A key characteristic of the variety is high persistence, including winter hardiness, resistance to diseases and pests, and the ability to actively compete within the stand. The variety has been studied in the context of biomass and forage nutritional value indicators.
