Hortica soybean variety is a high-yielding and resilient plant with a strong stem and well-developed root system. The stem height reaches 160 cm, while it features strength and diameter up to 34 mm. The root is taproot, penetrating the soil to a depth of up to 350 cm, providing the plant with high drought resistance and resilience to adverse weather conditions. The leaves are trifoliate, and the flowers have a violet-black-and-white corolla. Lower pods attach at approximately 11 cm above the ground, and the number of pods per node reaches 24, contributing to high yield. The Hortica soybean pod is large, up to 14 cm long, containing up to 10 seeds. Up to 240 pods can form on a single plant, resistant to cracking due to a dense, shiny seed coat impermeable to water. The pericarp consists of three layers — exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp — ensuring seed protection and maintaining quality. The seeds are oval-shaped and contain about 40% plant protein, closely resembling animal protein in composition, making soy a valuable protein source. Hortica soy is characterized by high yield and is adapted to various climatic conditions, including arid regions. The variety was scientifically developed using nanotechnology and has undergone trials in various countries, including Canada, China, Kazakhstan, Argentina, Brazil, Egypt, and South Africa, where it demonstrated stable performance even at extreme temperatures up to +60°C. Average yield reaches 70-75 centners per hectare. Due to its characteristics and quality, Hortica soy is in demand on the market, confirmed by stable purchase prices.
