Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is late-maturing, which required early sowing dates under open field cultivation conditions. In scientific literature, the variety appeared as a standard sample for comparative pathogenicity tests of the fungus Leptosphaeria maculans, which causes blackleg in oilseed rape.

This variety is not a modern commercial hybrid. Information on its current morphological traits and current registration is not available in open sources.
