- Suitable for all regions including the North and all soil types. Medium height (156 cm) with excellent lodging resistance (8), stem stiffness (8), early flowering (6) and medium maturity (5). Good all-round disease resistance against Light leaf Spot (6) and Phoma/Stem Canker (9).
- It carries the pod shatter resistance gene.
