Registered in the State Register of Plant Varieties of Ukraine since 2002 for the steppe zone, recognized as a national standard for all zones of Ukraine since 2003.
Originator — Institute of Plant Breeding named after V. Ya. Yuryev, NAAN.
Variety distinguishing features. Leafless (hairy), semi-dwarf type.
Stem usually upright, plant height — 75–90 cm, internodes to the first flower — 12–14. Flowers white, pod shelling type, large, straight, with blunt apex. Average seed number per pod — 4–5, maximum — 8. Seeds rose-colored, oval-shaped, with resistance to shattering (seed coat firmly attached on one side to the seed coat, and on the other — to the pod valve).
Agronomic characteristics. Grain use variety, medium-maturing. Vegetation period — 76–79 days. 1000-seed mass — 270–300 g. Protein content in seeds — 23–25%. Compared to other semi-dwarf hairy varieties, it is the most resistant to lodging and seed shattering.
According to field variety evaluation data in the Polissia zone in 2009–2010, average yield was 2.83 t/ha, maximum yield in 2009 at Andrushivsky DSS of Zhytomyr Regional Center for Agricultural Research — 3.75 t/ha. In the Forest-Steppe zone, average yield was 2.59 t/ha, maximum yield in 2009 at Man'kovsky DSS of Cherkasy Oblast — 3.79 t/ha. In the Steppe zone — 2.48 t/ha, maximum yield in 2010 at Kirovohrad DSS — 3.76 t/ha.
Highest yields under production conditions were recorded at the Gorky Agricultural Enterprise of Novomoskovsky District, Dnepropetrovsk Oblast, in 2001–2002 — respectively 4.3 and 4.0 t/ha.
