The "Pavlovsky 12" variety belongs to the Agropyron pectiniforme family and was developed by the Voronezh Experimental Station for Perennial Grasses in 1958. It received the status of a breeding achievement for the Central Black Earth region, confirming its high adaptability to the climatic conditions of this part of Russia. The seeds of the variety are characterized by a purity of at least 95% and germination of 80%, and they meet the requirements of GOST R 52325‑2005 for high-quality crested wheatgrass seeds.
"Pavlovsky 12" is a winter-hardy, drought-resistant, and low-demand crested wheatgrass. In sown areas, it maintains productivity for up to 8–10 years, providing hay yields ranging from 20 to 50 c/ha and seeds from 3.4 to 8 c/ha. Due to its grazing resistance and low fertilizer requirements, this variety is suitable for intensive use as a forage plant.
Application features include sodding slopes and sandy lands, as well as cultivation on floodplains with the ability to withstand flooding for 14 to 20 days. Seeds are packed in big-bags and are available for wholesale sale by the manufacturer from the Central Black Earth region. The variety is recommended for use primarily in the climatic conditions of the Belgorod, Voronezh, Kursk, Lipetsk, Oryol, and Tambov regions, where it demonstrates optimal productivity and resistance to adverse factors.
