The "Barguzin" soybean variety is an early, cold-hardy northern ecotype developed jointly with the Krasnodar Center for Oilseeds and the Siberian Institute of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry. The plant is indeterminate, of medium or tall height, with purple flowers and light brown seeds. The hypocotyl lacks anthocyanin coloration, and the main stem has gray pubescence. The seeds are characterized by a mass of approximately 135 grams for 1000 seeds, a protein content ranging from 35.3% to 41%, and an oil content between 21% and 24%.
The "Barguzin" variety is distinguished by enhanced frost resistance, withstanding temperatures down to minus 5 °C in both southern regions of Russia and on the northern boundaries of soybean cultivation. Thanks to this, it is capable of forming a profitable yield even under the long daylight conditions of Eastern Siberia and on permafrost soils. Moreover, the variety exhibits high resistance to diseases and pests, which contributes to the stability and quality of the yield.
It is recommended for cultivation in various regions of Russia, including the Central Black Earth, North Caucasus, Middle Volga, Urals, and Eastern Siberia regions, as well as in Krasnodar Krai, the Republic of Bashkortostan, Krasnoyarsk Krai, the Republic of Khakasia, and the Republic of Tuva. "Barguzin" soybean is suitable for cultivation under various climatic conditions, ensuring high yield and seed quality.
