Fazan

Reliable green mass yields: 'Fazan' Lupin from FGBNU FIC Nemchinovka

The 'Fazan' lupin variety is a proven solution for farms focused on high-quality forage production. In the context of intensive agriculture, where the cost of making a mistake with seed selection is high, this variety stands out due to its predictability and adaptability. 'Fazan's' primary goal is to provide livestock with bulky and nutritious feed, a role it performs effectively thanks to its unique biological traits.

Key Advantages

• Pathogen Resistance: The biggest headache for agronomists when growing lupins is anthracnose and fusarium wilt. 'Fazan' possesses genetically inherent protection against these diseases, which significantly reduces fungicide costs and maintains crop purity.
• Productivity: With proper crop management, the variety can yield 35–45 tonnes of green mass per hectare. Its tall stem (ranging from 150 to 250 cm) provides a substantial volume of biomass, which is critical for hay and silage production.

Who is this variety for?

'Fazan' is ideal for agricultural holdings with integrated livestock farming. It is not a "fussy" crop that requires delicate handling of treatment timelines; its vigorous growth allows it to successfully outcompete weeds during early development stages. Using it as green fodder helps bridge the protein gap in cattle diets during critical growth periods.

When choosing 'Fazan', it is important to remember that its full potential is realized on fertile, well-drained soils. Despite its disease resistance, the variety requires proper crop rotation, which is a standard best practice for any agronomist working with legumes.
