Soybean Antoshka

Stable yields in a changing climate

Breeding by NSNF 'Soy Age' (Soyevyi vik) is always about adaptability. The 'Antoshka' soybean variety was developed in response to farmers' needs for predictable results under moisture deficits and temperature fluctuations, rather than just high potential. This mid-early variety focuses its energy on bean development rather than excessive vertical growth.

Agronomic Profile

The key feature of this variety is its compactness. At a height of 70–80 cm, 'Antoshka' exhibits excellent lodging resistance, a critical factor for mechanized harvesting. Its low-growing habit minimizes harvesting losses, while uniform ripening simplifies logistics during the harvest season.

• Protein content: 41–43%, making the crop highly liquid for processors focused on quality meal.
• Oil content: 19–20%, with stable indicators even under moderate stress.

Why choose 'Antoshka'?

This variety is optimal for farms practicing intensive technologies that aim to minimize risks. Due to its moderate height, 'Antoshka' is less prone to stretching during periods of excessive moisture, making it a 'safe' choice for regions with inconsistent rainfall. The variety is responsive to fertilizers, yet its genetic plasticity allows for profitability even with average agronomic backgrounds.

The strengths of the variety lie in the combination of high protein content and harvesting efficiency. As for the weaknesses, like any soybean, 'Antoshka' requires strict adherence to planting dates and pest control at the early stages to fully realize its potential. It is a workhorse for those who value predictability and economic efficiency in their investments.
