An intensive variety with enhanced adaptivity, the winter hardiness is high

11.7 t/ha (Kursk obl.)

12.0 tonnes/hectare

Central Black Earth region

A mid‑maturing variety, the plant height is only 78–85 cm, therefore high lodging resistance. The variety features high plasticity and consistent yields in different agroclimatic conditions, demonstrates high drought resistance. The cold and winter hardiness is high. In terms of grain quality, the variety corresponds to strong wheats. It is suitable for cultivation after various crops, however the potential is unlocked in soils rich in nutrients. Excellent response to high fertiliser application rates with productivity increase as well as the most effective use of medium energy input per production unit.
