Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid is a simple mid-maturing type with an intensive adaptability profile, revealing its potential under intensive cultivation technologies. Plant height reaches 250 cm with an erectoid leaf placement type. The medium-sized cob contains 14–18 rows of grain; under favorable conditions, the formation of a second cob is possible.

The plant exhibits a medium growth rate at the beginning of the growing season and a high grain moisture dry-down rate during maturation. High resistance to root and stalk lodging is noted, as well as tolerance to Ustilago maydis, root and stalk rots, and Helminthosporium blight. Starch content in the grain is 72–74%.

The variety is suitable for cultivation in monoculture. Recommended plant density at the time of harvest varies from 45–55 thousand plants/ha in the Northern Steppe region to 60–75 thousand plants/ha in the Forest-Steppe region.
