Variety description

10 August 2026

The pollinator variety is distinguished by an early start to flowering, which continues throughout the entire growing season. Compared to previous generations, SP-7 forms a greater number of large male flowers, which increases pollination intensity.

Plants of this variety can be planted in narrower rows than main hybrids, which allows for more efficient use of planting areas. SP-7 fruits are not intended for human consumption, as the plant is a technological tool in breeding and crop production.
