Lyuba

The LUBA soybean variety is an ultra-early, high-yield variety intended for cultivation in the Central and Central-Blackearth regions of Russia, as well as recommended for various soil types. The variety's vegetative period ranges from 85 to 112 days, allowing for harvest within a short timeframe. The plants reach heights of 80-110 cm, with the lower pods attaching at a height of about 15-18 cm, which facilitates harvest collection and reduces grain loss. The mass of 1000 seeds varies from 130 to 150 grams, and the grains have a large size with a yellow color, possibly with shades.

The LUBA soybean is distinguished by its high protein content in seeds, reaching an average of 36-43%, and a high oil content of about 22%. The variety is drought, lodging, and shattering resistant, ensuring harvest stability even under unfavorable weather conditions. Additionally, the variety exhibits increased resistance to diseases, particularly ascohitosis, significantly reducing the risk of loss and the need for chemical protective measures.

The potential yield of the LUBA variety reaches up to 65 c/ha, with the maximum yield indicators in the Central region being 48.6 c/ha, and in the Central-Blackearth region — 39.4 c/ha. The variety is characterized by rapid starting growth and plasticity, making it suitable for direct seeding and cultivation in various agro-climatic conditions. The recommended seeding density is about 600 thousand seeds per hectare, which promotes optimal plant development and maximum utilization of soil resources.
