It matures in 104 days, yields 849 kg seed per hectare under rainfed condition and contains 35.67 per cent drying oil. It has yield advantage of 89.01 per cent, 11.22 per cent and 54.27 per cent over national check ‘Indira Alsi 32’, zonal check ‘Sharda’ and local check ‘OLC 10’, respectively. It is resistant to wilt and powdery mildew, and moderately resistant to bud fly.
