Akwamaryn

Akwamaryn is a tetraploid variety presenting increased resistance to rust.
It ensures very high yield of green and dry matter in 1st swath.
It can be grown on permanent greenlands, and used in grass mixes, on arable lands in pure sowing and in mixes with red clover.
It distinguishes itself from other plants with: medium habit, medium-long culm and inflorescence, and medium earing term.
It is resistant to lodging, and shows good winter hardiness.
High activity of generative shoots is observed, providing ground for high seed crop.
The cultivar has high feeding value – it presents high quality parameters (protein around 18,8% of dry matter, fibre content around 21,8% of dry matter, yield energy of fodder 2828 JP/ha).
It grows well on sufficiently moist and fertile soil.
It is tolerant of high doses of mineral fertilisers and organic nutrition.
