Ophelia soybean variety is a medium-early type recommended for cultivation in steppe regions. Plants reach a height of 100 to 130 cm, providing good resistance to lodging and shattering. This variety is adapted to diverse soil-climatic conditions, making it a versatile choice for farmers seeking a stable yield.
One of the key features of the Ophelia variety is its high protein content in the seeds — from 37 to 42%, as well as oil content at the level of 24–25%. The potential yield is approximately 3.5 tons per hectare under optimal seeding density of 450,000 to 550,000 plants per hectare. Due to these characteristics, Ophelia soybean is suitable for both food and feed use, as well as for technical processing.
Soybean is one of the most important protein-oil crops with a wide range of applications, including food, feed, technical, and medical industries. UNESCO recognizes soybean crops as strategically important due to their high nutritional value and protein content. The Ophelia variety, with its medium yield and resistance to various conditions, is a reliable choice for grain production and provides high-quality product for further processing.
