Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid belongs to the mid-early maturity group with an FAO rating of 240. The plants are characterized by great height and a developed root system. Grain type is dent. The hybrid has good grain moisture release, though when grown for grain under certain conditions, there is a risk of Helminthosporium blight infection.

The plant is distinguished by high lodging resistance and the ability to maintain vegetative mass green until harvest. When used for silage, the hybrid ensures a high level of energy and feed quality. The recommended plant density is from 65 to 80 thousand plants per hectare depending on the site potential; when growing for silage, it is recommended to increase the seeding rate by 15–20%.
