Chaban'skiy

Chaban'skiy Lupin is a white fodder variety intended for use in pasture renewal and as green manure. It is characterized by high protein content (up to 38% in grain) and low alkaloid levels, making it a safe and valuable source of nutrients for animals.

The variety is characterized by high yield: up to 4 t/ha of grain and up to 70 t/ha of green mass. The vegetation period ranges from 105 to 117 days, with plants reaching a height of about 80 cm. The flower is light blue, and the seeds are white with a pinkish tint, round-oval in shape, and weigh 320–330 g per 1000 seeds.

Chaban'skiy is resistant to numerous agricultural hazards: spring frosts, fusarium, viral diseases, and anthracnose. It also withstands drought well and is suitable for cultivation on acidic sandy and loamy soils. Due to its high nitrogen-fixing ability through symbiosis with bacteria in the roots, this lupin improves soil structure and enhances fertility.

As a fodder crop, it provides a high content of biologically valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids (linolenic and linoleic) – 67–76%. When collecting green mass in a volume of about 30 t/ha, approximately 3300 feed units are obtained, making it an effective source of nutrition for livestock.
