Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to oilseed flax. The oil content in the seeds is about 47%. Compared to the Flanders variety, it is characterized as later maturing, less productive, and having a lower level of linolenic acid; however, it is distinguished by a relatively high stem yield.

In scientific research, the variety has been used to study cadmium accumulation in a hydroponic environment, and the ability to accumulate aflatoxins in seeds under specific experimental conditions has also been noted. The variety appears in UPOV protocols as a reference sample.
