Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety has Maris Otter in its pedigree and is often used as a parent line in the development of new varieties, particularly malting types. In official barley characterization descriptions, the variety is cited as a reference for assessing the degree of waxy bloom on the ear, which is characterized as heavy.

Studies indicate the use of this variety in physiological and genetic experiments, including the study of adaptation mechanisms, ion transport, and genome mapping. Specific data on plant height, maturity groups, resistance to diseases, or lodging are not systematized, as the variety appears in literature as a study object or genetic marker.
