The new variety is characterized by high initial growth rate and high germination energy. Thousand-seed weight varies within 100 g at a density of 40 thousand plants/ha, under the recommended density of 25-30 thousand plants/ha, the thousand-seed weight is more than 150 g. Dehulling ability of the variety Konditer is the same as that of the standard variety Dzhinn.
