Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is an open-pollinated line, which distinguishes it from modern hybrids. It is classified as canola, possessing a low content of erucic acid and glucosinolates, and is intended for use in the food industry.

During regional variety trials, the variety demonstrates competitive yield for open-pollinated lines, however, in a number of tests it is inferior to modern commercial hybrids. Detailed morphological characteristics, such as precise maturity dates and disease resistance indices, are absent in open reports.
