Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid belongs to the mid-early maturity group (FAO 250). Plant height reaches 300–310 cm; ears are positioned at a height of 120–130 cm and contain 14–16 rows of flint-dent type kernels. Thousand kernel weight is 340–350 g.

The plant demonstrates maximum resistance to lodging, high tolerance to drought and temperature fluctuations. It possesses high resistance to stalk rot, as well as resistance to common smut and Helminthosporium leaf blight, with moderate resistance to the European corn borer.

The hybrid is intended for silage production with good fiber digestibility and high starch content, and is also suitable for biogas production. Cultivation for grain is possible, provided that the moderate moisture loss rate during the ripening period is taken into account.
