The panicles are semi-closed, white, of medium length, with dense ears without awns. The grain is of medium size, dense, with a bright yellow color and semi-elongated shape, indicating its high quality. The grain base is bare, without pubescence. The mass of 1000 grains varies from 36.3 to 40.1 grams, and the protein content is in the range of 11.5-15.0%, ensuring nutritional value.

The maturity period of the Bug variety ranges from 83 to 102 days, which corresponds to medium-late maturity. Yield can reach up to 60 centners per hectare, making this variety attractive for use in collective farms, farmer holdings, private households, and garden plots. The grain of this variety is unsuitable for processing into grit and is used primarily as fodder, underscoring its importance in livestock feed bases.
