DS 863

DS 863 soybean is an early-maturing, determinate, intensive-type variety developed by Canadian breeding and adapted for cultivation in various soil conditions, including narrow-row planting. The vegetation period is about 110 days, corresponding to medium-early maturity. Plants have an average height of about 68 cm and medium lodging resistance, ensuring optimal development and stability against lodging. Row spacing varies from 15 to 35 cm, allowing efficient use of the variety in various agronomic systems. DS 863 differs in high yield potential, reaching an average of 20.4 c/ha in recommended cultivation regions. The mass of 1000 seeds ranges from 178 to 197 grams, indicating grain size and quality. Protein content in seeds exceeds 44%, reaching 45%, while oil content is about 17-18.5%, making this variety particularly valuable for the food industry. High protein and oil content promotes the use of the variety for producing tofu, miso, soy sauce, and other food products. The variety exhibits high resistance to major soybean diseases, including white mold (sclerotinia), Phytophthora, and lodging, confirmed by high genetic tolerance and stability ratings at 9 out of 10. Thanks to these characteristics and versatility in application, DS 863 is recommended for intensive cultivation technologies with a sowing rate of 380 to 450 thousand seeds per hectare. The variety is certified and registered for cultivation in the Far East region, confirming its adaptation and effectiveness under these climatic conditions.
