KAMALINSKY 175

KAMALINSKY 175 Reedgrass – a perennial non-tuberous grass (Elymus trachycaulus), mainly used as a fodder crop. The plant features a loose culm growth habit and rapid biomass recovery after heading, although its growth rate remains slower compared to some other reedgrass varieties.

Kamalinsky 175 is distinguished by high resistance to adverse conditions: it grows well on washed-out slopes, exposed limestone, and saline soils, demonstrating drought tolerance and salt tolerance. The plant is undemanding regarding soil type, withstands short-term flooding, and maintains productivity even under high moisture conditions.

Mowing readiness is achieved at the heading stage (mid-June), where the hay has a moderate coarse structure. Protein content varies depending on the developmental stage: approximately 10.6% at the tillering stage and 9.6% at the flowering stage. Although its palatability lags behind other grasses, this variety is widely used for mowing and hay production, as well as feed for limited grazing.
