Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the medium-leaf size group and is recommended for intensive grazing in mixtures with grasses. It possesses the ability to maintain soil cover during periods of drought.

The plant is characterized by good persistence under grazing conditions, high protein content, and disease resistance. Rapid green mass formation in the initial stages facilitates weed suppression and better soil anchorage.

The variety's agronomic practices involve a seeding rate of 12–15 kg/ha at a sowing depth of 1–2 cm.
