Hybrid of intensive type. Combines high drought tolerance with high yield potential
in favorable conditions. When processing plants during the growing season with trace elements, it forms
high mass of 1000 seeds. It has genetic resistance to 7 races of the disease (A-G).

The hybrid of the steppe direction combines high productivity with drought and heat resistance. It has genetic resistance to 7 races of the disease (A-G). The hybrid is ecologically plastic in terms of productivity in all zones of the Steppe and Forest Steppe of Ukraine. It responds well to the application of mineralfertilized when sowing and trace elements on the leaf surface. The shape of the basket of the hybrid gives the opportunity to form an increased number of seeds.

The hybrid is suitable for cultivation using the technology of no-till plowing and minimal tillage (mini-till and no-till systems). Has increased resistance to damage by rust, gray and white rot, phomopsis. It has high resistance to stem breakage due to reduced plant height. This makes it possible to use an increased rate of nitrogen and other mineral fertilizers and qualitatively grind the vegetative mass with tillage units for sowing winter crops.обработки почвы (система «mini-till» и «no-till»). Обладает повышенной устойчивостью к поражению ржавчиной, серой и белой гнилями, фомопсисом. Имеет высокую устойчивость к излому стебля за счет уменьшенной высоты растений. Это дает возможность использовать повышенную норму азотных и других минеральных удобрений и качественно измельчать вегетативную массу почвообрабатывающими агрегатами под посев озимых культур.

The optimal density of plants during the growing season is 50-55 thousand. / ha. The optimal time of sowing is early. The latest sowing date in the eastern regions and in the south is until May 20.
