Variety description

10 August 2026

The Provence type is a local population, rather than a standardized breeding variety, and has served as a basis for the genetic foundation of many modern alfalfa varieties. Characteristics of this type may vary depending on growing conditions.

Plants of this type are characterized by low winter hardiness, mid-season maturity, and the ability to regrow rapidly after cuttings. Morphologically, this type is characterized by shorter height and thinner stems compared to some breeding varieties. Provence is adapted to the climate of southern regions.
