The MOSCOW 74 variety is a perennial ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam. var. westerwoldicum Wittm.), developed at the Feed Research Institute by selective breeding based on complex traits. It is a diploid variety distinguished by high seed yield of 1000–1500 kg/ha. Seeds germinate easily, and the plant rapidly accumulates biomass, reaching 6–7 tons of dry matter per hectare. Due to its good adaptation to humid conditions and responsiveness to mineral fertilizers, MOSCOW 74 ensures stable growth even after mowing or grazing.
The crop is characterized by a wide range of applications: it is widely used for creating lawns and maintaining green zones thanks to its dense structure and attractive appearance. Fertile loam soils are optimal for cultivation, although the variety demonstrates good adaptability to various soil types.
Users note that MOSCOW 74 is readily consumed by all types of livestock, making it a valuable feed. High yield and tolerance to humidity make this variety a preferred choice for those seeking a reliable and productive source of green mass.
