- High grass – used in meadow and field crop in pure sowing and mixes with papilionaceae plants.
- It shows high yield of dry matter, good stability, and increased resistance to drought and frost.
- Its high content of soluble sugars has a positive impact on souring process and flavour.

Harvesting: two-stage | Harvest of 1st swath – at the beginning phase of 1st phase of earing, next swath every 4-5 weeks. Optimal dry matter 35% – best souring. | Swath harvest – when brown inflorescence (frequent control); combining; seed drying – 15% |
