This variety is distinguished by its high productive tillering, allowing seeding rates to be reduced to 3.0-3.5 million germinating seeds per hectare. Plant height is approximately 80-90 cm, and the vegetation period lasts from 265 to 280 days. Thousand kernel weight varies within the range of 41.3-52.4 grams, indicating the variety's large kernel size.
