HODSON

Hodson soybean is a mid-early hybrid with a maturity period of about 100 days and a sum of effective temperatures (CHU) of around 2400. Plants reach a height of 80 to 110 cm, with white flowers and pods attached at 15-17 cm from the soil surface. A feature of the variety is an increased number of pods on the plant and seeds in each pod, with up to 40% of pods containing four seeds. The mass of 1000 seeds is about 189 g, and protein content in seeds reaches 41%.

Hodson variety is distinguished by high yield and plasticity, allowing it to consistently show good results on various soil types and in different climatic zones, including Forest-Steppe, Polesie, and Steppe. The technological yield potential is 40-50 centners/hectare. The recommended sowing density is 800 thousand plants per hectare, with row spacing from 12.5 to 38 cm. Thanks to a powerful and deep root system penetrating the soil to a depth of up to 2 meters, plants are resistant to adverse weather conditions and are not prone to lodging.

One of the key advantages of the variety is its high resistance to a multitude of diseases and pests, which significantly reduces the risk of yield loss and reduces the need for intensive plant protection. The Hodson variety has unique adaptability and plasticity, making it an attractive choice for farmers seeking a stable and quality soybean yield on various soils and in different agro-climatic conditions.
