This variety is characterized by high seed germination and provides a good yield when agronomic requirements are met. Seeds are recommended to be used cleaned with purity not less than 96% and similarity 70-90%, which promotes optimal plant development. Pre-sowing treatment with TMTD is used to enhance germination and yield.
Zolotoonskyye 15 is characterized by low content of narcotic substances — less than 0.2% tetrahydrocannabinol, making it safe for industrial use. This variety belongs to the developments of the Institute of Bast Crops and Phytopharmaceutical Raw Materials of the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, which specializes in hemp and flax breeding. The institute has developed more than 30 hemp varieties, including Zolotoonskyye 11 and 15, which are registered in the plant varieties registry of the European Union and Canada.
The breeders of the institute have developed effective methods for creating high-yielding hemp varieties without narcotic properties, allowing Zolotoonskyye 15 to be used in various sectors of agriculture and industry. Due to its characteristics and qualities, this variety is suitable for cultivation aimed at obtaining bast raw materials and other industrial products.
