Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid belongs to the mid-season maturity group and is suitable for use in grain, forage, and bioenergy applications. The plant is capable of accumulating soluble sugars in the stems, which makes it a promising feedstock for bioethanol production.

A high starch content is noted in the grain of the hybrid. A characteristic feature is the absence of tannins. The crop can be used for the production of silage, forage, and for food purposes.
