Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety was obtained by crossing the CUF-101 variety population with the experimental line NAPB 0310. It belongs to highly winter-active varieties with a winter activity index of 8, which ensures active growth in the autumn-winter period, but limits winter hardiness compared to dormant varieties.

The plant possesses a very high level of resistance to Phytophthora root rot. During the breeding process, selection was conducted for resistance to stem nematode, leaf spot, blue alfalfa aphid, spotted alfalfa aphid, and anthracnose. The variety demonstrates productivity above average values.
