State Register: Volga - Vyatka, West - Siberian, Northern, North - Western, East - Siberian, Far Eastern regions

The average yield according to the data of the Nytvensky GSU of seeds is 3.5 - 4.1 centners / ha, dry matter 76.6 centners / ha,

The maximum dry matter yield of 92.4 c/ha was obtained in 2006.

Features of development: Differs in higher foliage. Winter hardiness High. The main advantage of meadow timothy grass is its high acid tolerance and the ability to grow on soils poor in mineral nutrition. Timothy grass produces satisfactory yields where grasses of other species grow poorly.

Sowing time: Sow during spring and all summer until August 20

Vegetation period: Before seed maturation average: 106 - 112 days; for hay: 62–78 days

Seeding rate (germinating seeds/m2): With wide row sowing of timothy grass 4–6 kg/ha, with continuous row sowing 10–12 kg/ha. In mixtures with clover or alfalfa - 6–8 kg/ha

Agrophone: Careful preparation of the soil so that it is free from weeds, absolutely leveled, allowing seeds to be planted to a depth of 0.5–2 cm. Compulsory soil compaction before and after sowing improves field germination. Timothy meadow crops in their pure form react very positively to the use of nitrogen fertilizers up to 90 kg/ha of ai. and the introduction of phosphorus - potassium 60 kg / ha

Disease resistance: The variety was slightly affected by stem rust.

Direction of use: In its pure form for seeds and hay. However, Timothy's main use is as a blend with clover or alfalfa. This mixture is mowed in the budding phase of legumes for haylage. Timothy grass is an important component for hay - pasture mixtures, where the share of this crop is 10–20% .
