Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is very early-maturing and is adapted for cultivation in Mediterranean climate conditions, particularly in arid and semi-arid zones. It is widely used in breeding programs as a parental form for developing lines resistant to Fusarium head blight.

The plant possesses resistance to rust and Fusarium, although the variety's yield may vary depending on external conditions. The thousand kernel weight is approximately 32.2 g; the variety belongs to class C. Technological indicators include a yellowness index of 5, a brownness index of 6.5, and a viscoelasticity index of 5.

The grain of the variety is being studied for its phenolic compound composition, which determines its quality for the pasta industry. The variety often serves as a subject of comparison in scientific studies on the genetics and breeding of durum wheat.
