Vetch Bilocerkivska 34

A Reliable Choice for Forage Production

The common vetch variety "Belotserkovskaya 34" is the result of long-term breeding work by the O.K. Kolomiyets Bila Tserkva Experimental Station, a center that has remained a leader in developing grain legumes adapted to Ukrainian conditions for decades. This variety occupies a distinct niche as a high-protein forage crop, providing farmers with stable yields in temperate climates.

Agronomic Potential and Resilience

The key advantage of this variety is its robust disease resistance. In conditions of fluctuating humidity and the risk of pathogen outbreaks, "Belotserkovskaya 34" demonstrates significant resilience against fusarium and powdery mildew. This allows for a reduction in fungicide application, making agricultural production more cost-effective.

• Crop type: Legume.
• Protein content: 20–24%, crucial for high-quality feed.
• Growing season: 110–130 days, optimizing the potential of early spring.

It is recommended to sow as early as possible once the soil is workable. This allows the plants to effectively utilize stored winter moisture for biomass accumulation before the onset of peak summer temperatures. Due to its morphology, the variety is excellent for both pure stands and mixtures with oats or barley, which is a common practice for obtaining balanced haylage.

Practical Application

"Belotserkovskaya 34" is not just seed material; it is a proven solution for livestock farms looking to localize protein production. Its protein content (20–24%) makes it an essential component in cattle diets, reducing the need for expensive imported meal. The stability of the variety, confirmed by years of practical application in Ukrainian fields, makes it a predictable tool for planning forage harvest campaigns.
