The variety is adapted to the climatic conditions of Central Europe and is characterized by a clear development strategy with a short growth phase and a long seed maturation period. Compared to biomass varieties, this variety is less tall, as plant resources are redistributed toward grain formation.
In scientific research, the variety is valued for its stability and is often used as a reference for comparison with other genotypes. Analyses show a high content of trace elements, such as cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, and nickel, as well as higher drought tolerance compared to maize.
