KRASNOKUTSKAYA 4009

Genetic Potential and Adaptability

The «Krasnokutskaya 4009» alfalfa variety is a product of the selective breeding efforts of FANC South-East. The variety is built on a strategy of securing stable yields under challenging agricultural conditions. With its origins tied to the center's leading specialists, Ilina L.G. and Guryanova K.F., the focus has been placed on high field resistance to pathogens.

Biological Indicators and Productivity

Morphologically, the plant features a canopy height ranging from 60 to 85 cm. This range is optimal for mechanized harvesting while ensuring a high yield of green biomass. A key technological advantage of this selection is its enhanced resistance to bacterial wilt, which is critical for the longevity of the stand. Due to its resistance to this pathogen, the variety maintains high productivity over several years of operation without stand thinning.

Agronomic Advantages

• Leafiness: A high leaf-to-stem ratio ensures high nutritional value of the forage.
• Immune Status: Genetic protection against bacteriosis reduces the need for fungicidal treatments and prevents premature plant mortality.
• Stability: The support of the original developer, FANC South-East, guarantees seed material purity, which is the cornerstone of predictable yields.

Practical application of the «Krasnokutskaya 4009» variety shows high efficiency in regions with variable moisture levels, where the plant's ability to resist vascular diseases becomes a priority for creating a high-quality forage supply chain.
