It is a grassy vetch variety with excellent adaptability and high seed yield (500-800 kg/ha). Its shrubbing is good, its drought tolerance and winter resistance are excellent. Its folds are long (150-180 cm), thin and medium-haired. The average number of branches is 7-10, the leaves are elongated and haired. The flower of the cluster is medium sized and the flowers are dark violet blue. The shape of the pods is flat, wide and elongated, with a yellowish-brown colour when ripe. Seeds are round, grayish-black in color. It weighs between 30 and 35 g. The crude protein content of the kernel is between 25 and 29 g.%. With rye, triticale, wheat co-plants it is an excellent green fodder and well ensileable. A valuable feature of the variety is that it gives a large green mass even in the beginning of May, in mid-May, on soils that can be mowed and have poor fertility. Green yield is between 25 and 45 t ha-1 depending on the co-plant and the vintage, protein yield is between 0.6 and 1.0 t ha-1.
It is one of the dominant plants of autumn fodder mixtures. It is a dry-tolerant variety with a high protein content and a high green mass with good crop safety. It can be grown well with a support plant with ears even under weak conditions.
Its main supporting plants are rye, winter wheat, and triticale. It has a very rich intensive stock, excellent protection against erosion, very good weed suppressant. It develops a deep-penetrating, rich root system, resistant to drought, good wintering.
It can be grown successfully on sandy soils, as well as on bound clay soils. It is used very effectively in the utilization of unfavourable sandy soils when sown with rye. He is an important creator of the Landsberg mixture (35% Blonde vetch, 15% Purple here, 50% Italian ryegrass, 60 kg/ha ), which, in addition to providing an early, heavy, high-protein feed, is an excellent precursor thanks to its nitrogen bonding.
