The variety has a long vegetative period: up to technical maturity — 103 days, up to biological maturity — 133 days. This allows obtaining significant biomass, which is especially important for energy use. Dry stem yield reaches 12.5 tons per hectare, fiber — 4 tons per hectare, with fiber content in stems of 34–36%. Additionally, seed yield is 0.7–1.22 tons per hectare, with seed oil content around 28%.
