The yellow lupin variety «Progressivnyi» is a universal type registered in 2009, noted for its high yield. It is conditionally characterized by a potential grain yield of 2.2–2.6 t/ha and dry matter of green mass – 6.5–7.8 t/ha. These indicators make it an attractive choice for farmers looking for stable income from forage crops.
Key agronomic properties include rapid vegetation – 98–102 days, allowing for earlier harvest compared to many other varieties. The variety demonstrates resistance to fusarium with an infection level of only 4.0% and does not droop, ensuring the stability of the plant structure during growth and harvest.
The food value of «Progressivnyi» is also noteworthy: protein in the grain reaches 41.4%, while alkaloid levels are only 0.019%. This makes the variety ideal for forage use, as high protein content improves feed nutritional value, while low levels of toxic compounds ensure safety for animals. The recommended growing zone is Polissia, where the variety shows the best agronomic characteristics.
For sowing, «Progressivnyi» is recommended for row sowing with a row width of 15 cm (1.0–1.2 million plants/ha) or wide-row – 45 cm (0.6–0.8 million plants/ha). Such flexibility in sowing technology selection allows adapting the crop to various agro-technical conditions and farm needs.
