Nutans variety. Semi-erect/intermediate tuft. Non-pubescent lower leaf sheath. Intensive anthocyan colour of flag leaf ligules. Medium was coating on the sheath. Short to medium-length plant. Pyramidal/cylindrical loose/medium-density head with medium/heavy wax coating. Serrated awns longer than the head, of medium-intensity anthocyan-coloured ends. Short/medium-length slightly curved first rachilla. Deviated sterile spikelet. Long depression of the main caryopsis striga. Low/medium-intensity anthocyan colouring of the outer lemma ribs. No or low laceration or the internal side ribs of the outer lemma. Very large caryopsis with non-depressed ventral crease and embracing lodicule.

Crop yield

Weight: 46-57 g/1000 grains. The average yield in the acceptable region – 28400 kg/ha. 2600 kg/ha in the Omsk Region which is 240 kg/ha above the Omsky 91 standard. The maximum yield at 8420 kg/ha was obtained in 2011 in the Tyumen Region.

Ripening capability

Mid-season, vegetative period 67-86 days, ripe 1-3 days earlier than the Signal variety and 3-5 days earlier than the Biom and Omsky 91. Resistance to lodging. Draught resistance 0.5-1.0 below the Biom and Signal standards in the draught years. Proteins content – 10.4-13.5%.
