Vanda is a variety that has been widely produced in many European countries for many years and has been used as a control variety at the Swedish National Testing Center.
Strong lodging resistance is supported by its upright growth habit.
Very good adaptation to high-altitude regions is achieved through high cold and drought tolerance.
Very high resistance is shown against fusarium and other alfalfa diseases.
High crude protein is obtained in both green forage and baled hay, supported by a dense leaf structure and a dormancy rating of 4/5.
With proper maintenance and harvesting conditions, productive field performance can be maintained for 3-5 years.
For intensive forage production, suitability is strengthened by upright growth, winter hardiness, drought tolerance and disease resistance.
