White mustard variety «Ariadna» – an early-maturing, diploid type with a growing season of 72 days and a plant height of about 122 cm. It is characterized by high productivity: green mass yield reaches 71.8 ц/га (8.3 ц/га of dry matter), and total fat oil yield – 4.41 ц/га, significantly exceeding average figures for white mustard.

Key variety characteristics include resistance to seed shattering and lodging (stability score 9) and moderate resistance to crucifer flea beetle, diamondback moth, and blackleg. Fat content in seeds is 30.8%, and allyl oil content is 0.24%. Due to high protein content (up to 30%) and oil content (up to 40%), «Ariadna» is suitable for edible oil production, meal production, and use as a green manure or green fodder.

Studies note that crop structure (number of pods per plant – 68.7 pcs., number of stems – 3.8 pcs.) directly affects productivity, however, seed quality does not deteriorate with increasing crop volume. These properties make «Ariadna» a sought-after choice for farmers seeking high yields and stable product quality in various agro-ecological conditions.
