Sainfoin Altay

Siberian Breeding for Sustainable Fodder Production

The 'Altaysky' sainfoin variety is the result of extensive research by the ICG SB RAS and the Federal Altai Scientific Center of Agrobiotechnology. Developed under the guidance of researcher Evgeny Raimondovich Shukis, this variety has established a strong reputation for reliability and consistent performance in demanding agricultural environments.

Agronomic Resilience

The primary value of 'Altaysky' lies in its inherent genetic resistance to major pathogens that often compromise the yields of less adapted varieties. It demonstrates high resistance to brown spot, fusarium, and ascochyta blight. Furthermore, the variety’s resistance to phytonomus is a significant factor in maintaining forage quality and seed yield throughout the growing season.

Versatile Applications

• Forage Production: Renowned for its high protein content and excellent digestibility, this variety is an essential component for high-quality livestock diets, particularly for cattle and sheep.
• Honey Production: 'Altaysky' serves as an exceptional honey plant, providing a stable nectar flow that benefits local apiaries and promotes effective pollination of neighboring entomophilous crops.

For agricultural enterprises focusing on durable stands and high-quality biomass with reduced dependence on fungicide applications, 'Altaysky' remains a proven and robust choice.
