Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is characterized by a rating of "4" on the Fall Dormancy (FD) scale. On this scale, the variety occupies an intermediate position between highly winter-hardy forms and varieties with high fall activity.

In historical literature, the variety was used as a standard for assessing plant height and fall dormancy under specific climatic conditions. Specific data on morphometric indicators and resistance to particular pathogens require reference to the original test protocols from the 1990s.

It is intended for cultivation for forage purposes, including the harvesting of hay and haylage. It is oriented towards regions with temperate climates that provide a combination of productivity with the necessary ability to overwinter.
