Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is intended for the production of etiolated shoots (chicons) during the forcing process. In the documentation of the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV), it is used as a reference for assessing the degree of incision of the basal part of the leaf.

In official registers, the variety is classified by forcing type and product quality. Publicly available detailed quantitative characteristics, including precise growth parameters, yield indicators, and disease resistance, are absent.
