Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid is a mid-season plant with a height of about 160 cm. It belongs to the extensive type, which ensures stable yield on soils with low fertility levels. The hybrid is resistant to lodging, drought, and early spring cold spells.

The plant possesses resistance to Orobanche races A–E, high tolerance to white and grey mold, as well as moderate resistance to Phoma, Phomopsis, and downy mildew. In sparse crops, the hybrid is capable of compensating for yield by increasing the size of the head and achenes.

Intended for cultivation using classical technology, suitable for use with minimum or no-till farming methods. The oil content in seeds is 48–53%. The recommended plant density varies from 35 to 50 thousand plants per hectare depending on the moisture level.
