Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a hybrid developed to replace traditional vegetatively propagated varieties. The plant is remontant, characterized by vigorous growth and high uniformity of crops, which allows for the elimination of vegetative material and reduces the risk of disease spread.

Morphologically, the variety is characterized by green inflorescences with no spines on the scales and leaves, which simplifies harvesting and further post-harvest processing. In addition to food use, the plant is a promising source of biologically active substances, such as phenolic compounds and sesquiterpene lactones.
