Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the maple pea type and is characterized as a tall plant with a very long stem and a normal leaf type. It has red-purple flowers and forms small, smooth brown seeds.

The plant is used for the production of pigeon feed, forage and silage harvesting, and as a green manure crop due to its ability to form a strong root system and dense vegetative mass.

The variety is early-maturing, has low resistance to lodging, and low seed yield. It is highly susceptible to downy mildew, which requires mandatory seed treatment with fungicides, and also exhibits sensitivity to a number of herbicides.
