ORLOVSKAYA 84

A reliable choice for forage production

The Orlovskaya 84 spring vetch is a product of extensive breeding by the Federal Scientific Center for Leguminous and Cereal Crops. The variety has established a strong presence in the forage crop market due to its narrow focus and consistent performance. Developed to yield high-quality green fodder, it addresses the need of livestock farms for a dependable, high-protein feed base.

Agronomic potential and biological traits

As an annual crop, Orlovskaya 84 demonstrates excellent adaptability to regional climatic conditions. With a growing season of 90–110 days, it integrates efficiently into crop rotations, ensuring timely harvest of green mass. The crude protein content of 20–24% makes this variety a valuable component of animal rations, helping to reduce costs associated with commercial protein concentrates.

Disease resistance as a foundation for yield

A key factor driving the market demand for Orlovskaya 84 is its genetically inherent resistance to common legume diseases. The variety shows notable resistance to specific pathogens, including:

• Anthracnose: A fungal infection capable of causing significant crop loss in legumes.
• Ascochytosis: A disease that significantly degrades the quality of the green mass.

By minimizing the risk of these infections, the variety spares producers from unnecessary fungicide expenditures, effectively lowering the cost per ton of feed. Choosing Orlovskaya 84 means relying on proven genetics that combine agronomic efficiency, high nutritional value, and natural biological defense.
