A mid-maturing variety. The plant height is medium, of 77- 81 cm. The variety has a high lodging resistance (4.8 — 5 points). The head is pyramid-shaped, dense, of medium length, with short awns. The variety is resistant to ear and leaf diseases. Grain quality: the protein content is 13.6 – 14.7%, the gluten content is 24.0 – 24.5%. The kernel stands out with an increased carotenoid (lutein and zeaxanthin) content, which imparts yellow tint to pastry and pasta and is beneficial in forage mixtures for poultry as it intensifies the yellow colour of the yolks, increases shell thickness and the shelf life of an egg.
