Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is characterized by relatively large leaves with a medium number of lobes, rounded margins with shallow indentations, and sparse pubescence on the upper side. Cotyledons of this variety are relatively broad, and flowering time is medium.

The variety is classified as forage rape. Erucic acid is present in the seeds. When grown under Canadian conditions, it behaves as a spring crop due to a lack of winter hardiness, while specific data on disease or lodging resistance are absent in available documents.
