Angelica

Stability and Fungicidal Resistance: The "Angelica" Soybean Profile

The "Angelica" soybean variety, developed by the National Scientific Center "Institute of Agriculture of NAAS," is designed for farmers who prioritize risk mitigation in volatile climatic conditions. With a growing season of 110–120 days, it is well-suited for temperate regions, ensuring harvest completion before the onset of autumn precipitation.

For farm management, the primary value of "Angelica" lies in its field resistance to a complex of fungal and bacterial diseases. This variety is a practical tool for agronomists looking to reduce pesticide pressure, as it exhibits natural resistance to downy mildew (peronosporosis), septoria, and bacteriosis. In scenarios with a high infectious load, where surrounding fields require intensive fungicide applications to combat fusarium, powdery mildew, or leaf spot, "Angelica" often maintains healthy stands with minimal chemical intervention.

Agronomic Performance and Harvest Quality

With a plant height of 70–80 cm, "Angelica" is optimized for mechanized harvesting. Its structural integrity prevents lodging, which significantly reduces harvest losses during combine operations. The biochemical profile of the seeds makes this variety suitable for both food-grade production and processing into meal or oil:

• Protein content: 37–45%, providing excellent value for processing facilities.
• Oil content: A stable 20–22%, consistently meeting market requirements.

Choosing this variety is economically justified in intensive farming systems where the goal is to achieve predictable yields with high quality at a controlled cost. It is an ideal selection for commercial farming operations aiming for a balance between high protein yield and reduced input requirements, ensuring a reliable performance regardless of the specific agronomic scenario.
