Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid belongs to the mid-late maturity group, with ratings of S280 for silage and K250 for grain. The plants are tall, have a strong structure, and a grain type close to dent. The variety demonstrates a very good growth rate at early vegetation stages ("fast start"), high lodging resistance, and tolerance to cold stress during early development.

The plants possess a pronounced "Stay-Green" effect, maintaining green leaf color until late vegetation phases, which allows for flexible harvesting dates. The hybrid is characterized by drought tolerance, high starch yield, and high total dry matter yield. The recommended plant density is from 6.0 to 9.0 plants per square meter depending on the type and condition of the soil.
