Soya variety 'Zara' is a mid-early indeterminate variety created by individual selection from a hybrid population. It is characterized by a vegetation period of about 118 days and a plant height of about 94 cm. The mass of 1000 seeds is 147 g, with protein content in seeds reaching 36.4% and fat content at 23.3%. The variety is distinguished by its high oil content in seeds, around 22%, and potential yield up to 52 c/ha.
'Zara' possesses high resistance to lodging and pod cracking during over-wintering, making it particularly valuable for cultivation in arid climates and conditions of insufficient moisture. The variety is adapted for growing in zones with a moderately continental climate, including the Krasnodar and Stavropol regions, as well as the North Caucasus region. It is suitable for main and repeated sowings, as well as for short-rotation crop rotations.
Moreover, the 'Zara' variety is distinguished by its high resistance to a range of diseases and pests, including downy mildew, gray mold, fusarium, ascochytosis, and bacterial spotting, which ensures crop stability and reduces the need for intensive plant protection. Thanks to these qualities, 'Zara' is a reliable and productive choice for soybean production in regions with challenging climatic conditions.
