Arkadia Odeska — a mid-late soybean variety known for its high yield and stability under various climatic conditions. This variety features rapid early development and retains its seeds even under unfavorable maturation conditions due to its pronounced "Stay green" effect, which persists almost until harvest. Arkadia demonstrates high drought resistance and adapts well to challenging growing conditions, making it one of the most reliable varieties for different regions.
The Arkadia variety is characterized by high protein content in the seeds, which is especially valuable for industrial use. The growing period of the variety is convenient for agronomic schedules, and resistance to fungal diseases reduces the risk of yield loss. With proper care and seed treatment, for example, using nitrage, yields can reach 36 c/ha under irrigation and about 26 c/ha under drought conditions. The recommended seeding rate is 550-600 thousand germinating seeds per hectare, ensuring optimal plant stand density.
Optimal planting density depends on multiple factors, including the biological characteristics of the variety, soil fertility, and water availability conditions. For Arkadia, it is recommended to consider local characteristics: on non-irrigated lands under dry conditions, planting density should be reduced, whereas on irrigated areas, it is essential to consider irrigation and mineral nutrition regimes. This approach allows maximizing the potential of the variety and obtaining a high-quality soybean harvest with excellent protein content and stability.
