Day-length sensitive variety. 120-130 days. A variety type that served as the basis for many hybrids, whose main advantage is good uptake activity of mineral elements. Bulb color — golden yellow. Mechanized harvesting is possible only under conditions of early sowing combined with optimal mineral nutrition, with increased doses of sulfur, phosphorus, and potassium.
