Characteristics of the variety
Variation primarily intended for use on the meadow soils more dry, moderately fertile and vulnerable. It can also be grown on arable land weaker in mixtures with other species of grass in pure stand for use as pasture for sheep.
Breed in department of PHR Antoniny.
Registered in 1987.

Agricultural utility.
Is a medium early variety, durable, good health, has a high density of the sward and the high resistance of plants to dry conditions. It gives a rich harvest of biomass and high seed yields.

Cultivation for fodder
REDA can be grown in pure stand or as undersown in spring barley. When grown in pure stand pre sow used at a dose of mineral fertilizers on 1 ha of about 40-50 kg N, 60-90 kg 80-120 kg P2O5 and K2O. Seeding as undersown, increase the phosphorus-potassium fertilization on spring barley about 40%. In the full use of phosphate fertilizers in quantities of 80-100 kg P2O5 per ha sown in early spring, while the nitrogen and potassium should be applied to each set in doses of 40-60 kg N and 40-50 kg of K2O.
Pre-sowing crops in the band should strive for good weed free and alignment field. When grown in pure stand should be sown 12-15 kg of seed per acre, while in cover crop of about 15-20 kg. In the year we make full use of the green mass of 3-4 sets.

Growing for seeds
REDA for seed collection should be grown in areas with lower rainfall, the soils of class IIIb-IVb. Seed crops should be worn on the fields weed free and cultivate well. When grown for seed sowing more rational is red fescue in early spring in spring barley, root crops grown on. It should then reduce the sowing of seeds to about 70 kg / ha. Under the cover crop and red fescue, use before sowing about 100-120 kg / ha P2O5 and about 120-150 kg / ha of K2O. In each year of the harvest to sow 70-90 kg P2O5 and 100-120 kg K2O per ha and nitrogen at doses of 30-50 kg / ha in early spring and 40-60 kg / ha after harvest of seed, or plant protection. The amount of nitrogen is dependent on the position, soil fertility and crop years.
In the case of red fescue seeding cover crop gives much better results sowing separable. After sowing of spring barley field should zwałować and harrow.
Fescue seed in the amount of about 8 kg / ha were sown in rows across the cover crop.
For weed control in spring barley with undersown red fescue can be used Chwastox liquid, or Chwastox M. Chwastox extra. The destruction of couch grass now apply the proper formulation Fusilade, at a dose of 4 l per ha.
Harvest of red fescue seed can be carried by the following methods:
- Mowing the lawn mower rake, and after four or five days of threshing combine,
- Desiccation by Reglone and combine a set of single-phase. Seeds should be dried after harvest again.
