Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid belongs to the supersweet category (SH2 type) with a vegetation period from 75 to 82 days. The plants possess vigorous growth and a well-developed root system, which allows the variety to adapt to difficult growing conditions, including deficiencies of moisture and nutrients in the soil.

The ears reach a length of 26–27 cm with a diameter of 5.5 cm and are positioned at a height of approximately 65 cm. High-quality grain maintains its marketable appearance for a long time after harvest without becoming shriveled, which makes the variety suitable for transport, long-term sale, and processing.
