A variety for special tasks. It copes well on weaker sites, even in difficult weather conditions. It has an outstandingly strong root system and is therefore characterised by good health against soil-borne diseases. Can be grown on non-irrigated sites. It has a good husk for the American-Spanish type. Because of its weaker wax, it requires a careful approach to herbicide protection and more protection against leaf diseases.
