Vetch LENSKAYA 15

Genetic Potential and Hardiness

The vetch variety 'Lenskaya 15' is the product of rigorous breeding efforts conducted by the FRC Institute of Cytology and Genetics (Siberian Branch of the RAS) and the Yakutsk Scientific Centre. Developed by P.L. Goncharov, A.V. Goncharova, and E.E. Andrusovich, this variety is engineered to thrive in challenging agro-climatic conditions while maintaining consistent nutritional output.

Technical Specifications and Performance

Designed for multi-purpose forage use, 'Lenskaya 15' serves as a critical component in livestock feed systems. The technical strengths of this variety are defined by the following metrics:

• Crude Protein Content: 12–13%. This range provides a reliable baseline for balanced ruminant nutrition.
• Crop Classification: Forage crop, specifically optimized for biomass production intended for silage or haylage.

Practically, 'Lenskaya 15' is selected by growers who require high-quality vegetable protein stability in regions with short growing seasons. The variety’s internal mechanisms focus on efficient nitrogen fixation, which ensures that the 12–13% protein content remains consistent across different soil profiles. This technical reliability allows farm managers to optimize feed rations by reducing dependency on expensive synthetic protein supplements.
