Early soybean variety ES NAVIGATOR with high initial growth energy and stress resistance. Plants reach a height of about 78-80 cm, with the lower pod attachment height at 12 cm. The variety has medium oil content — about 20%, and high protein content — 42%. The 1000-seed mass is approximately 210 g, indicating large seed size and good seed quality. The vegetation period lasts from 90 to 110 days, making it suitable for cultivation in various climatic zones, including forest-steppe regions and several areas of Ukraine.
ES NAVIGATOR exhibits high resistance to lodging, shattering, and a wide range of diseases, including sclerotinia. The variety also demonstrates good drought tolerance and stable yield, making it a reliable choice for cultivation under adverse weather conditions. The recommended planting density is 700,000 seeds per hectare or 120-150 kg per hectare, which promotes optimal plant development and maximizes yield potential.
The yield potential of ES NAVIGATOR ranges from 35 to 45 centners per hectare, confirming its high productivity and stability. Soybean is well-adapted to various cultivation regions, including Vinnytsia, Dnipro, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Luhansk, Mykolaiv, Poltava, Sumy, Ternopil, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi, Cherkasy, and Chernihiv regions. Due to its technological properties and resistance to adverse factors, ES NAVIGATOR is a promising variety for efficient soybean production with high protein and oil content.
