Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the non-dormant plant category. Its key biological feature is the ability to maintain productivity under saline conditions, which is due to a mechanism that limits sodium accumulation in shoots. Under laboratory conditions, the variety demonstrates high seed germination in solutions with salt concentrations up to 2.0%.

The crop is intended for use in regions with a risk of soil salinization or when irrigating with mineralized water. The variety often serves as a control sample in scientific research dedicated to the study of alfalfa's physiological adaptation to environmental stress factors and the assessment of forage quality.
