The variety is characterized by resistance to major diseases and stress factors, as well as resistance to lodging and shattering, which improves harvest technology and quality. Protein content in the seeds is approximately 37-39%, and fat content is approximately 21.9%, making this variety attractive for producing products with high protein and oil content.
