Variety description

10 August 2026

The current commercial name of the hybrid is Smart Edda KWS. The Smart index indicates its affiliation with the KWS plant protection system designed to provide herbicide resistance.

In scientific papers from the early 2000s, the Edda variety was characterized by high sugar content and served as an object for comparative studies on overwintering and resistance to the pathogen Rhizoctonia solani.
