- Good resistance to lodging and grain shattering
- High winter hardiness
What to keep in mind
- Intensive technology and demanding soil requirements — the variety delivers on a fertilised background and a good previous crop.
- Recommended zone is Polissia and the Forest-Steppe; the catalogue does not list it for the Steppe.
