Chernobura soybean variety is a high-yielding and early-maturing transgenic variety developed using modern technologies. It is distinguished by drought resistance, resistance to seed cracking, bacterial and fungal diseases, as well as abiotic stress. Due to its small seeds, the variety allows for reduced seeding rates, making it economically advantageous to grow. Chernobura is suitable for cultivation in various climatic conditions, including steppe and forest-steppe zones of Ukraine, both under irrigation and in dryland conditions.
The high yield of this variety reaches 25-30 centners per hectare under irrigation and 18-20 centners in dryland conditions. The seeds do not require additional drying after harvest, which increases production profitability. Chernobura can be sown 5-6 days earlier than other varieties, allowing for optimized sowing dates and improved efficiency of agronomic practices.
The plant reaches a height of about 100 cm and has the ability to improve soil fertility through nitrogen fixation by its roots, which contributes to enriching the soil with mineral microelements. Sowing is recommended at soil temperatures not lower than +10°C, with a maximum seed burial depth of 6 cm. Harvesting should be conducted within five days after maturity to avoid fruit cracking. After growing Chernobura, the soil becomes more fertile, which positively affects subsequent crops, such as wheat.
