Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid belongs to the mid-maturing group with an FAO rating of 360–380. The plant has an erectoid leaf type, a powerful root system, and a strong stalk resistant to lodging. The ear position ensures convenience during harvesting.

The Artesian™ technology provides high adaptability to stress weather conditions, particularly drought. The hybrid demonstrates high tolerance to root and stalk rots, as well as to common smut.

The dent-type grain contains 72–73% starch and is characterized by rapid moisture loss during the ripening period. The primary use is grain production; cultivation for silage is also possible.
