This variety features a vegetative period of 120 to 128 days and an indeterminate growth habit with medium bushiness. Plants reach an average height of about 90 cm, have yellow-brown pubescence, purple flowers, and brown pods. Seeds are large, with a 1000-seed weight ranging from 190-210 g, contributing to a high yield potential of up to 90 ц/ha. The seed contains approximately 39.4% protein and 21.2% oil, making this variety attractive for producing both food and technical raw materials. OAC Dunkel variety is characterized by good adaptability to soils and high resistance to cracking, reducing yield losses under adverse weather conditions. Plants demonstrate good resistance to phytophthora, ensuring crop stability and health throughout the vegetative period. Due to these qualities, the variety is adapted to various soil types and climatic conditions, expanding its cultivation potential in different regions. For sowing, the recommended seeding rate is 600-650 thousand seeds per hectare, ensuring optimal plant density and maximum productivity. The high protein and oil content in the seeds make OAC Dunkel a sought-after variety for farmers aiming to obtain high-quality and high-yield crops. This variety is suitable for cultivation in the middle belt and other regions with similar climatic conditions, ensuring stable and high yield performance.
