Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid forms a vigorous plant 190–210 cm in height. The growing period is 80–87 days. The ears are cylindrical in shape with a well-filled tip, 21–25 cm in length, 5.0–5.5 cm in diameter, and have a weight of 300–480 g. The golden-yellow kernels are arranged in 18–20 rows.

The plant has a developed root system and a strong stalk, providing resistance to lodging. The hybrid shows high resistance to smut and is tolerant to diseases such as common rust, maize dwarf mosaic virus, and helminthosporium leaf spot.

Intended for cultivation in open field. The recommended planting density is 55,000–65,000 plants per hectare. Depending on agrotechnology and growing conditions, the formation of two full-sized ears on one plant is possible.
