The variety is a diploid inbred line developed using traditional recombination breeding methods. The plant has a characteristic structure with delicate side shoots and small, deeply dissected leaves that do not overlap. Such morphology provides free access for pollinating insects to the flowers.
The line is characterized by resistance to anthracnose and Fusarium wilt. The use of this plant in fields allows for an increase in fruit set efficiency in seedless hybrids, for which the variety is planted together with them.
