Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is intended for winter cultivation, which distinguishes it from traditional spring varieties. The plant height significantly exceeds that of common chickpea varieties, making the crop suitable for mechanized harvesting.

The plant possesses genetic resistance to Ascochyta blight and the ability to withstand low temperatures. The seeds are of the Kabuli type and have a light color. With winter sowing, the variety is capable of providing a yield of more than 2.5 tons per hectare.
