Desna

Soybean variety Densa is a mid-early and early-maturing variety recommended for cultivation in various climatic zones, including Polissia, forest-steppe, and steppe. Plants reach a height of 75–85 cm and have an upright form with reddish-brown hairs on the main stem. The vegetation period allows effective use of the variety for mechanical harvesting, facilitating the harvesting process.

The variety is characterized by high resistance to lodging, shattering, and diseases such as peronosporosis, ensuring stable and reliable yields. The potential yield ranges from 3.0 to 3.5 tons per hectare, with an average yield from trials reaching 7.6 centners per hectare. The 1000-seed mass is approximately 143 grams, and the seeds have a yellow color and spherical-oval shape.

Particular attention should be given to the high protein content in the seeds, which varies from 34.9% to 42%, as well as oleic content at 19–21%. These characteristics make the Densa variety in demand in the food industry and for medical purposes. The recommended planting density depends on row width and ranges from 660,000 to 700,000 plants per hectare, promoting optimal growth and maximum productivity of the crop.
