The ERA soybean variety is an ultra-early variety with high yield potential, suitable for sowing in the second term into warmed soil. This variety is distinguished by high resistance to unfavorable conditions and diseases, as well as possessing the highest resistance to lodging and pod cracking. The time to maturity is about 85 days, which makes it one of the earliest among soybean crops. Plant height varies from 80 to 110 cm, while lower pods are located at a height of 12-15 cm from the ground. The stem is upright and branched, which contributes to good development and crop formation.
ERA soy is characterized by high protein content – up to 42%, which makes it particularly valuable for use in the food and feed industries. Technological yield potential reaches 3.7-4.0 centners per hectare at a recommended sowing density of 750-850 thousand seeds per hectare and row widths from 12.5 to 30 cm. High resistance to diseases and lodging ensures crop stability even in complex climatic conditions.
A feature of the variety is a powerful root system capable of penetrating to a depth of up to 240 cm, which improves drought resistance and promotes better plant nutrition. Pods are large, with up to 420 pieces on one plant, which increases the total yield. ERA soy is a reliable predecessor for winter crops and is suitable for classical cultivation technology. High oil content (22-23%) and protein make this variety universal and in demand for various agricultural purposes.
