It has a medium-early maturity period with a vegetation period of 88-94 days and plant height ranging from 70 to 85 cm. The ear is pyramidal in shape with medium density, which contributes to good yield formation.

Dubravka is characterized by high yield, with a maximum yield reaching 7.36 t/ha, and an average yield over four years of competitive trials of 5.25 t/ha. The variety is resistant to lodging, drought, shattering, and germination of grain in the ear. It also exhibits high resistance to diseases such as powdery mildew, leaf septoria, and Fusarium ear blight, as well as moderate resistance to brown leaf rust.
