Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a breeding development intended for forage mass production. During field trials, the plant demonstrated high resistance to spider mite damage, while maintaining productivity against the background of other varieties that suffered severe damage.

Provided with proper care, including weed and pest control, the variety's stand maintains its productivity for up to 6 years. The variety was used in studies on agronomic methods, in particular, when assessing the impact of burning crops during the dormant period for pest control.
