An ultra early maturing (CHU 10°С–1900°С), high‑protein variety of indeterminate growth habit type, maturity group 0000

2.36 tonnes/hectare (Kursk oblast, 2023)

West Siberian region

The variety belongs to the very early maturity group (the sum of effective temperatures is 1900°С). It has been developed for northern regions of soybean cultivation. It makes a good previous crop for winter cereals. The plant grows 77 cm high. Good lodging resistance. Harvest losses do not exceed 5%. The seed protein content amounts to 39–42%, fat — 18–22%. The hilum colour is black.

Upon the soil warming up to 10–12°C

West-Siberian region: 100 days
Central Black Soil region: 82–85 days

650–700 thousand viable seeds/ha adjusted for field emergence. Optimum crop density by harvesting: 600 thousand pcs/ha

130–160 g

A level field at seeding helps to minimise harvest losses. The combine header should be set at the lowest height of cut.

The variety is resistant to downy mildew, bacterial blight, sclerotinia and other major diseases

Inoculant and fungicide treatments are obligatory. In the southern regions — where bean seed fly is widespread — addition of an insecticide to the fungicide is required
