Soybean variety Liska is a early-maturing and mid-season type of crop, designed for high-yield cultivation under various climatic conditions. Among varieties with similar characteristics, notable ones include Alaska, Siberia, Kofu, Volta, Kyoto, Saskatchewan, Asana, Arisa, Ezra, Zelda, and Safira, which are distinguished by their adaptability and resistance to adverse factors. These varieties are suitable for the Polissia and forest-steppe zones, ensuring stable yields with proper agronomic practices.
The Lenchka variety, belonging to the Liska group, is characterized by high yield potential up to 2.8 tons per hectare, high protein content (43%) and oil content (22%). Plants reach a height of 75-80 cm, with lower pods positioned 12-14 cm above the ground, facilitating harvest. Lenchka exhibits resistance to a broad spectrum of diseases, including wilting, lodging, peronosporosis, ascochytosis, bacterial blight, septoria, and fusarium, making it a reliable choice for farmers.
Another representative of early-maturing soybean varieties is Sirélia, a French selection by RAGT, which features a short vegetation period — about 105 days — and high protein content (40-42%) and oil content (22-23%). Plants are of medium height with lower pod attachment at 10-11 cm, and 1000-grain weight reaches 179 g. This variety is non-GMO and well-adapted to various climatic zones of Ukraine, including conditions with short daylight and possible weather stress. Thanks to these qualities, varieties from the Liska group are optimal for early harvest and soil preparation for subsequent crops.
