Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a local Italian population (landrace) characterized as a tall plant. In breeding programs, the variety is used as a component for creating new synthetic alfalfa forms due to its adaptability.

The plant has high productivity and, under favorable conditions, is capable of providing up to 6 cuts per season. The variety is distinguished by high nutritional value and good crop longevity; it is used primarily for the production of forage and dehydrated alfalfa meal.

In scientific literature, the variety is sometimes referred to as Polesana gigante, which reflects its habitus. The variety is valued for its rapid regrowth after cutting and its product quality indicators, which contribute to animal growth.
