Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid was obtained by crossing a female clone and a supermale clone. The absence of female plants in the plantings prevents seed formation and the emergence of volunteer seedlings. The plant is characterized by high growth vigor, forms numerous stems with medium-density phylloclades, and possesses good resistance to foliage diseases.

The spears of the variety are distinguished by medium diameter and high head density, which are not prone to premature opening even at elevated temperatures. The variety is suitable for cultivation both in the open field and under film covers, demonstrating plantation longevity.
