Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is mentioned in agronomic and physiological studies as a standard sample of a «classic», non-high-oleic sunflower. It is used to analyze factors of oil accumulation in seeds, as well as to study plant reactions to drought and the progression of phenological development phases.

Detailed morphological and agronomic characteristics of the variety, such as maturity group, plant height, or disease resistance, are absent in open scientific publications.
