Soybean Asterix

Premium German Genetics for Your Fields

The «Asterix» soybean variety from the German breeding company Farmsaat is engineered for efficiency. With a vegetation period of 100–110 days, it is the ideal tool for farmers looking to balance early harvesting with high-quality output. Whether you operate in a high-intensity rotation system or need to vacate fields quickly for winter crops, Asterix delivers the flexibility required for modern logistics.

Field Performance and Resistance

The primary advantage of the Asterix variety is its robust health profile. It is specifically bred to resist common but devastating threats, which reduces the need for frequent pesticide interventions:

• Fungal resilience: High resistance against Sclerotinia, Mycosphaerella, Fusarium, and Ascochyta.
• Bacterial and other threats: Exceptional defense against Downy mildew, Septoria, and Bacteriosis.

This genetic vigor ensures that the plant remains healthy throughout the season, leading to stable grain quality and yield reliability regardless of weather-related stress.

Why Choose Asterix?

With a protein content of 41–43%, Asterix is a standout for processors looking for raw material consistency. The plants reach a height of 50–80 cm, designed for uniform pod set and low-loss harvesting, which is essential for maximizing net profit per hectare. It is a no-nonsense variety that turns high-level German breeding into practical, on-farm success.
