Soybean variety Alvesta is a universal hybrid adapted for cultivation in all climatic zones, including the forest-steppe, steppe, and lowland regions. This variety is characterized by early maturity and semi-determinate growth, ensuring rapid initial growth and stable plant development. Alvesta has a light yellow cotyledon and perfectly formed seeds with a thousand-grain weight ranging from 170-190 grams, indicating high seed quality.
One of the key advantages of this variety is its high yield, confirmed by ranking first in AGES trials in 2020 among varieties in segment 00. Yield under standard moisture conditions ranges from 2.73 to 3.84 tons per hectare. Alvesta soybean has high protein content — 39-42% — and fat content — 20-22% — making it attractive for food and feed production. Plant branching varies from low to medium, with recommended row spacing of 12.5 to 25 cm.
In addition, the variety exhibits high resistance to lodging and numerous fungal and bacterial diseases, contributing to reduced yield losses and improved product quality. The recommended planting rate is 500-600 thousand seeds per hectare at harvest time. All these characteristics make Alvesta a reliable and high-yielding choice for agricultural producers aiming to maximize soybean crop returns.
