Soybean Ltava

Focus on early maturity: why farmers choose «Ltava» soybean

In the context of an unpredictable climate and the need to optimize crop rotation, the «Ltava» soybean from Sevita Genetics meets the strategic demand of farms for an ultra-early harvest. The main value of this variety lies in the combination of a short growing season (up to 90 days) and a high protein concentration in the grain.

Practical use cases

• Optimizing harvest logistics: Due to its vegetation period of up to 90 days, «Ltava» allows for the completion of the harvest campaign before the onset of prolonged autumn rains or cold weather. This reduces grain drying costs and minimizes losses during threshing.
• Stubble cropping: The variety is ideal for post-harvest planting after winter barley or as a backup crop if early spring plantings were damaged by frosts.
• Commodity grain stability: A protein content of 41–43% makes «Ltava» an attractive raw material for processing plants focused on export and high-quality compound feed production.

Agronomy and harvesting features

The physical parameters of the variety are adapted to the requirements of modern mechanized harvesting. The height of the lower pod attachment (12–14 cm) allows for combine header adjustment with minimal lower-tier losses, which is critical for the yields provided by Sevita Genetics genetics. The plant height of 80–90 cm, at an optimal sowing density, forms a dense stand that suppresses weed development between rows.

We recommend this variety to farms aiming for rapid capital turnover and looking to mitigate the weather risks associated with late autumn. The high adaptability and predictability of «Ltava» enable efficient scheduling of farm machinery, freeing up capacity for subsequent field operations within optimal timeframes.
