Variety description

10 August 2026

The Brontes variety is a result of breeding programs for creating biomass crops. Its key feature is the chemical composition of its biomass, which is adapted to the needs of the biochemical industry, distinguishing it from other hybrids used primarily in construction or anaerobic digestion.

Agronomic characteristics of the variety, such as exact height, maturity group, and disease resistance, remain insufficiently studied in the public domain. Field trials, particularly in Tanzania, indicated potential difficulties with the germination of this variety under specific conditions.
