Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the FAO 160–170 maturity group and is characterized as a medium- or large-sized variety type. The plant forms large ears with an average ear insertion height. The hybrid possesses high early growth vigor, which allows for successful development at the beginning of the growing season, and demonstrates good lodging resistance.

The produce is characterized by high starch content and increased energy density; however, due to the presence of anthocyanins, the variety is not suitable for use in pet food production. The maize is recommended for cultivation in regions with a short growing season and is used for silage production and grain crimping.
