Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is intended for feed purposes, including use in compound feeds and mixtures, as well as a cover crop. The plant is characterized by a short stem and high resistance to lodging, brittleness, bean rust, and leaf spot.

The seeds of the variety are of medium size with a thousand kernel weight of 530–550 g. Due to the absence of tannins in the seed coat and high protein content, the variety has an increased nutritional value for feed.
