Smooth brome Olenka

Genetic potential of Bromus inermis 'Olenka'

The awnless brome grass variety 'Olenka' is the result of advanced breeding efforts by the National Research Center 'Institute of Agriculture of the NAAS' and the Central Institute of Innovative Agro-technologies. This cultivar serves as a specialized biological tool for establishing high-quality forage bases with significant nutritional value.

Technical Specifications

• Protein Content: With a protein level ranging from 19% to 20%, this variety ranks among the top tier of forage grasses. This concentration is achieved through the genetic fixation of the plant's metabolic efficiency.
• Application Profile: Beyond its primary use as a forage crop, 'Olenka' is documented for its potential in food processing applications, demonstrating an exceptional biochemical profile.

The practical advantage of 'Olenka' lies in the reliable equilibrium between biomass production and nutrient accumulation. The high protein content (19-20%) is a critical factor for optimizing livestock rations, effectively reducing dependence on expensive protein supplements. The stability of these characteristics, maintained by the originators (Didychenko, Yatsyshen, Karazhbei, Taranenko), ensures predictable performance and high nutritional consistency under standard agronomic practices.
