Soybean Apolon

Early-maturing soybean performance

The «Apolon» soybean variety, developed by IZPR UAAN, is specifically engineered for growers who prioritize early harvesting. With a vegetation period of just 90-100 days, this variety fits perfectly into short agricultural cycles, allowing farmers to harvest ahead of late-season weather risks.

Morphological advantages for harvest

The structural efficiency of this plant is one of its strongest features. With a height range of 70 to 110 cm, the critical feature is the lowest pod attachment point—14-16 cm from the ground. This height is optimized for modern combine headers, ensuring minimal harvest losses compared to lower-podded traditional varieties.

Disease resistance as a standard

In the field, «Apolon» performs reliably due to its genetic resistance to major threats. The variety offers robust protection against:

• Peronosporosis: minimizing leaf area damage.
• Fusarium: protecting seeds and root systems, which is vital during damp harvest periods.

By investing in a variety with high inherent resistance, farmers can reduce their chemical application costs, providing a more sustainable approach to soybean production.

Economic viability

With a protein content of 39-41%, «Apolon» is an excellent choice for both livestock feed manufacturers and the processing industry. While it is not a "biological monster" in terms of vegetative mass, it is a consistent performer. Its primary advantage is predictability; it is the ideal variety for those who need a reliable, early-maturing crop that doesn't sacrifice the quality of the harvested protein.

Pros: Exceptionally short growing season, excellent harvest logistics due to pod height, and strong fungal resistance. Considerations: Performance is highly dependent on correct planting density; avoid over-seeding to ensure proper airflow through the canopy.
