An intensive, short-stemmed highly adaptive variety

11.6 t/ha (Kursk obl., 2017)

12.2 tonnes/hectare

Central Black Earth and Middle Volga regions

A mid-maturing, short-stemmed variety. The plant height is 76–85 cm, lodging resistant, with a high winter hardiness. The genetically determined consistently good crop yields are achieved through high tillering capacity and a large number of grains per head. The variety demonstrates resistance to biotic and abiotic stress factors, which makes it possible to harvest stably high yields of food quality grain in harsh conditions of several regions of Russia over the years.

Early to mid-September

300–309 days

Early sowing after black fallow or leguminous previous crops + fertiliser — 400‑450 pcs/m².
Late sowing and sowing into stubble after unfavourable previous crop — 500 pcs/m²

41.7–44.1 g

For intensive farming, introduction of nitrogenous fertiliser (90–110 kg/ha active substance) is recommended, phosphorus-potassium fertiliser — based on the results of agrochemical soil survey.

The variety is resistant to stinking smut, brown rust, head fusarium; moderately resistant to snow mold, septoria spot, head fusarium

Seed treatment with a fungicide and an insecticide. In intensive farming system, two fungicide treatments: during vegetation at the beginning of stem elongation stage (ЕС 29‑31) and before flowering (ЕС 59‑61). The number of insecticide treatments depends on the pest pressure
