Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is early-maturing and is characterized by reduced sensitivity to photoperiod, which allows for its efficient use in various sowing conditions. The plant possesses improved straw strength and the ability to maintain grain fill even under moisture deficit or high temperatures during the grain-filling period.

The plant has a good coleoptile length, which promotes quality germination, and demonstrates high growth vigor, helping to suppress weed vegetation. The variety shows resistance to foliar diseases and the nematode Heterodera avenae, and its grain is distinguished by a low content of impurities.

The grain quality of the variety is suitable for malt production oriented towards beer varieties with medium fermentability. Despite good straw strength, under conditions of high fertility and early sowing dates, the variety may require the use of growth regulators to prevent lodging.
