PRIOBSKAYA 50 is a variable type of lucerne (Medicago sativa L. nothosubsp. varia) intended for agronomic purposes, including fodder use and soil fertility improvement. The plant is characterized by medium height and a semi-upright bush with medium-length stems covered in green leaves. The central leaflet has medium size, and the flowers are predominantly blue-violet, giving the plant a decorative appearance. Flowering occurs in June-July, corresponding to the medium maturity period of the variety. Insect-pollinated flowers contribute to the production of high-quality honey with high sugar content that crystallizes quickly and has a light-yellow or transparent tint.
The PRIOBSKAYA 50 variety is distinguished by good resistance to brown blotch, the incidence of which is at a medium level, and is adapted to the climatic conditions of the Western Siberian region and recommended for cultivation in the Altai Territory. The average yield of dry matter reaches 56.7 centners per hectare, corresponding to standard indicators. The root system of lucerne is powerful and penetrates deep into the soil at 2-4 meters, ensuring the plant's drought resistance and contributing to soil structure improvement through nitrogen fixation.
PRIOBSKAYA 50 is a perennial herbaceous crop of the legume family, widely used as a green manure, honey plant, and fodder for livestock. Due to the high protein and amino acid content in the green mass, it provides complete nutrition for animals. Moreover, the variety contributes to soil fertility improvement and crop rotation improvement when used for 2-3 years. These qualities make PRIOBSKAYA 50 a universal and valuable variety for agricultural production.
