Soybean EPOKHA

Stable yields in a short timeframe

The early-maturing soybean variety "Epokha" from SK Astra is an ideal choice for farms operating in regions with short growing seasons or those using soybeans as an efficient predecessor for winter crops. With a vegetation period of up to 90 days, the plant reaches full biological maturity even during cooler summers, protecting the agronomist from the risk of early autumn frosts.

Agronomic Advantages

• Optimal height: A stem height ranging from 80 to 100 cm provides sufficient vegetative mass to accumulate nutrients.
• Mechanized harvesting: The height of the lower pod attachment (12–14 cm) is perfectly suited for modern soybean headers. This minimizes harvest losses at the cut, reducing the percentage of crop loss in the field.
• Quality grain: A protein content of 41–43% makes "Epokha" a highly liquid commodity, sought after by both feed processors and food manufacturers.

Practical application scenario: This variety fits perfectly into intensive crop rotations. Its short development cycle allows farmers to clear the field on time and prepare the soil for winter grain sowing, which is critical for meeting agronomic deadlines. "Epokha" shows excellent response to micronutrient application, allowing for high protein levels even on soils with moderate fertility with proper field management.
