The variety is a representative of folk selection and does not belong to industrial hybrids. Its name literally translates from Croatian as "eight-row yellow", which indicates the characteristic morphology of the ear with an eight-row arrangement of kernels.
In official registers, the variety is mentioned in the context of the FAO 100 maturity group, which characterizes it as very early-maturing. The crop is valued for its adaptability to local conditions and is grown primarily in amateur gardening as a valuable genetic resource.
The variety is an open-pollinated crop, therefore, when growing, it is required to observe spatial isolation from industrial hybrids to preserve the purity of varietal traits.
