Golden

The 'Golden' soybean variety is an early-maturing grain variety developed by Russian and Kazakhstani breeders. Plants of this variety have an indeterminate growth type, semi-upright, medium height ranging from 75 to 120 cm with reddish-brown pubescence. The height of the attachment of the lowest pod varies from 10.7 to 14.5 cm, while the number of pods on the plant reaches about 40. Seeds are of medium size, yellow in color with a light brown hilum; the mass of 1000 seeds fluctuates between 123.4–176 g depending on growing conditions. The variety is resistant to drought, lodging, shattering, and bacterial blight, ensuring yield stability under various climatic conditions. The 'Golden' variety boasts a high yield potential, reaching 11.4 to 27.5 c/ha in various regions. The vegetative period is about 105–115 days, allowing its use in areas with a short warm season. Soybeans are adapted to diverse soil and climatic conditions, including forest-steppe and steppe, expanding cultivation opportunities. High resistance to stress factors and diseases contributes to maintaining yield quality and quantity. Protein content in seeds of the 'Golden' variety ranges from 30.0 to 40.1%, making this variety attractive for protein product production. Oil content in seeds varies from 20.1 to 23.9%, indicating medium oiliness. Due to these indicators, 'Golden' soybeans are suitable for use in both the food industry and feed production. High seed quality and yield stability make this variety in demand among agricultural producers.
