• FAO rating: 90–1240 allows for adaptation across various climate zones with different heat requirements.

At harvest time, the uniformity of the crop is impressive. The ears are positioned at an optimal height, allowing the combine to work without unnecessary losses. If your goal is to harvest clean, healthy grain with minimal risks during the growing season, this hybrid justifies every cent invested.
