Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a bush plant 30–45 cm tall, adapted to various growing conditions, including soils with a low fertility level. The period from sowing to marketable maturity is 51–60 days. It belongs to the category of varieties with large pods.

The pods have a light green color and a length of about 14.7 cm. Due to the slowed development of seeds inside the pod, the variety retains its marketable appearance over a long harvesting period. It possesses genetic resistance to bean common mosaic virus and bacterial blight.
