VNIIOZ 86

Soybean variety VNIIOZ 86 is an early-maturing indeterminate variety with yellow seeds and anthocyanin staining of the hypocotyl. The plants are of medium or above-average height, with purple flowers and reddish-brown pubescence on the main stem. The mass of 1000 seeds varies from 153 to 162 grams, and the growing period is from 103 to 110 days, which ensures an early start of flowering and maturation. The variety is recommended for cultivation in the Central Black Earth and North Caucasian regions, including the Lipetsk and Belgorod regions.

The yield of the VNIIOZ 86 variety is characterized by stability and high productivity. In various regions, the average yield ranges from 16.6 to 26.2 centners per hectare, with maximum indicators reaching up to 36.9 centners per hectare. Studies have shown that the application of differentiated irrigation regimes contributes to an increase in yield by 2.42–2.51 tons per hectare, improving the synchronization of vegetative growth and reproductive development, which increases the grain share in total biomass.

The protein content in the seeds of the VNIIOZ 86 variety ranges from 35.4% to 42.62%, and fat from 18.1% to 21.7%, making this variety valuable for the food and feed industries. Optimization of the irrigation regime contributes to an increase in protein and fat output per hectare, while reducing the water consumption of the crop. These characteristics, combined with adaptability to various climatic conditions and high yield indicators, make VNIIOZ 86 a promising choice for agricultural production.
