Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid is intended for grain and silage cultivation. A key feature is the red color of the grains instead of the traditional yellow. In terms of yield, the variety is comparable to high-yielding yellow hybrids.

The maize oil content in the grains is 1–2% higher than standard values, which increases the energy value of the product. When included in poultry feed, the red pigment contributes to the intense coloration of egg yolks and poultry skin.
