The 'Kuban' soybean variety is a mid-early or early-ripening variety characterized by high adaptability to various soil and climatic conditions, including forest-steppe and steppe. Plants reach a height of 75-85 cm, have purple flowers and medium-sized yellow seeds with a yellow hilum. The stem can be erect to semi-erect with reddish-brown pubescence, and the leaves are large, lanceolate-obovate in shape, and dark green with slight blistering.
The yield of the 'Kuban' variety varies depending on growing conditions and can reach 3.0-4.8 t/ha on dryland and up to 4.86 t/ha under optimal conditions. Protein content in seeds is 40.5-42%, significantly exceeding standard indicators, while oil content reaches 20-21%. Due to high protein and oil content, the variety ensures high collection of these components, making it attractive for industrial use.
The variety is resistant to lodging, shattering, and major diseases such as ascohitosis, peronosporosis, and septoria, with a low level of infection (about 1 point). These characteristics contribute to a stable and high-quality harvest. 'Kuban' is recommended for cultivation in various regions, confirmed by its inclusion in state registers and successful application in agriculture.
