AGNIA is a variety of variable alfalfa (Medicago sativa L. nothosubsp. varia), characterized by medium plant height in spring and a semi-upright bush with leaves of medium-intensity green color. This variety is distinguished by high adaptability to various abiotic stresses and resistance to root rots, ensuring its reliability and stability under various climatic conditions.
AGNIA is included in the state registers of several regions, including Central, Volga-Vyatka, Urals, and West Siberia. The average yield of dry matter in these regions varies from 71.1 to 73.4 ц/га, exceeding average standards by 3-6 ц/га. Protein content in green mass reaches 15.6-18.5%, making this variety valuable for forage purposes.
Studies show that the optimal period for the economic use of variable alfalfa varieties, including AGNIA, is about five years, after which a decrease in grass density due to diseases is observed. Despite this, the variety maintains high yield and resistance for several years, confirming its effectiveness and economic viability for agricultural use.
