Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is intended for seed production in the food industry. It belongs to the blue-seeded poppy group; the seeds are distinguished by a dark blue color and good color uniformity.

The plant possesses high and stable yield, often acting as a standard variety in variety trials. A key economic feature is the resistance of the capsules to opening and seed shedding after maturity is reached.

The morphine content in dry capsules is estimated as medium. In terms of vegetation parameters, the variety is comparable to other common poppy varieties.
