• The plants are not tall
• Covers the soil surface very well
• Tendency to flower – (4 points out of 9 (where 9 is very high))
• Flowering time – moderately late
• Tendency to lodging – low (4 points out of 9 (where 9 is very high))
• 1000 seed weight – 9.8 g
• Suitable for biomass and seed production
• Very resistant to Beet Cyst Nematode (BCN) (Heterodera schachtii) – 1 point out of 9 (where 1 is very resistant)
• Susceptibility to nematodes – score 1 (where 1 is very low, 8 is strong)
• Soil cover rate – 7 points (where 1 is very slow, 8 is very fast primary growth)
• Flowering time – 4 points (where 1 is very late, 8 is very early)
• Susceptibility to lodging – 4 points (where 1 is non-dormant plants, 8 is very sensitive to lodging)
