Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid is early-maturing, the period from emergence to harvest is 92–100 days. Plant height reaches 160–170 cm. The head has a convex shape and is tilted downward, which contributes to lodging resistance and reduces losses from shattering.

Oil content in seeds varies from 44–52%, hectoliter weight is 431–433 g/l. The hybrid possesses high plasticity to climatic conditions, including arid and hot regions.

The variety is adapted to the Clearfield herbicide technology. Demonstrates resistance to downy mildew, rust, phomopsis, white and gray rot, alternaria, as well as to 7–8 races of broomrape.

The recommended sowing density is 50–60 thousand plants per hectare in zones with sufficient moisture and 45–50 thousand plants per hectare under insufficient moisture.
