9.46 t/ha (Kursk oblast)

Central Black Soil region

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 ear is pyramide-shaped, dense, of medium length, with short awns. The variety is resistant to ear and leaf diseases. Grain quality: protein content 13.6–14.7%, gluten content 24.0–24.5%. The kernel stands out with an increased carotinoid (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.
