Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety has a pyramidal bush shape with a small number of vegetative branches and medium-high height. Bolls are medium-sized, oval-shaped, and are distinguished by an open structure, which simplifies harvesting. Leaves are slightly pubescent, which ensures plant resistance to certain pests, including whitefly.

Technological fiber indicators are characterized by a length of 28–30 mm, a strength of 30–33 g/tex, a micronaire index of 4.4–4.9, and a fiber turnout of 42–44%. The variety is tolerant to Verticillium wilt, stable in various environmental conditions, and undemanding to soil. Due to its characteristics, it is often used as a control standard in comparative trials.
