Yellow alfalfa of the ZLATA® variety is a valuable agricultural feed resource widely used in animal husbandry and apiculture. This variety is distinguished by its high protein content and low fiber level, which ensures high nutritional value for livestock. Moreover, ZLATA® alfalfa contributes to soil improvement due to its ability to fix nitrogen, making it useful as an organic fertilizer.
A medium-height plant with a semi-erect bush and green leaves, the ZLATA® variety is characterized by medium stem length at full flowering and predominantly yellow flowers, which contribute to its high honey-producing ability. The variety is distinguished by high winter hardiness, resistance to lodging, as well as to soil flooding, marshification, and salinization. It does not cause tympany in animals and is affected by pests and diseases at standard levels. Thanks to these qualities, ZLATA® alfalfa is recommended for meadow-pasture feed production.
The ZLATA® variety ensures stable dry matter yield, although in some regions it may be slightly below the average standard. After the first and second cuttings, the plants retain medium and low height, respectively, which facilitates care and harvest collection. Thanks to its agronomic and feed characteristics, ZLATA® alfalfa is a reliable choice for farmers seeking high-quality feed and to improve soil condition.
