11.7 tonnes/hectare

Central Black Earth region

Mid maturing, short growing, with a plant height of 81 94 cm. Very high drought resistance. Cold and winter hardiness is high, 64% plants survived at 16°С at the tillering node.
Lodging resistance is high.
The variety has high plasticity and delivers consistent yields in different agro climatic conditions

Regional optimum

300–310 days

Black fallow 3.5‑4 million/ha;
legumes 4‑4.5 million/ha;
Stubble left from previous crop 4.5‑5 million/ha

42.8 g

The variety is suitable for growing in medium and rich soils. The best predecessors are black and green fallow, legumes, early maturing row crops. Good harvest after stubble. The best response is observed and the yield potential is unlocked with intensive technologies, nitrogenous fertiliser application at a rate of 80 100 kg/ha active substance is recommended.

The variety is resistant to fusarium head blight, powdery mildew, stinking and loose smut, brown rust; moderately resistant to septoria spot.

Seed treatment with a fungicide and insecticide mixture. In intensive farming system, two fungicide treatments are required: during vegetation at the beginning of stem elongation stage (GS29‑31) and before flowering (GS59‑61). The number of insecticide treatments depends on the pest pressure
