Narrative
Early maturing, bold grained with two to four tillers. Panicles compact to semi-compact, lanceolate or cylindrical, nonbristled with slight taper towards tip. Glumes mostly nonpigmented. Anther color variable from yellow to brown. Grain obovate to globular, dark gray in color and large (10-15g 1000-1). Large size of grain is most important identifying characteristics. Plants flower in 38-50 days. Mature in 70-80 days. Good resistance to downy mildew (Sclerospora graminicola). Less affected than hybrids by ergot (Claviceps fusiformis) and smut (Moesziomyces penicillariae).
