Variety description

10 August 2026

904 is an inbred line and is not intended for sowing in commercial farms. In breeding programs, this line is used as a parental component, in particular, when creating hybrids such as NP 991 × NP 904.

The line belongs to an elite commercial germplasm pool and is mentioned in studies on nitrogen use efficiency. Specialized morphological data, such as plant height or maturity group, are not provided in open publications, as traits are evaluated in the context of hybridization.
