The Sirius variety of leguminous forage crops is characterized by high grain yield, surpassing the productivity of the Vizir variety. Studies have shown that the grain of the Sirius variety contains more dry matter, crude and digestible protein, non-nitrogenous extractives, and ash, while having a lower level of fiber and fat compared to the control variety. Although plants of the Sirius variety are shorter in height than those of the Vizir variety during different growth stages, their productivity and grain quality remain at a high level.
The Sirius variety is distinguished by its resistance to abiotic factors, enabling it to develop successfully and reach maturity even under adverse environmental conditions. This makes it an attractive choice for feed production, where both quantity and quality of the grain are important.
Thus, the beans of the Sirius variety represent a valuable feed resource with improved nutritional characteristics, contributing to increased feeding efficiency and crop resilience under stressful conditions.
