Soybean Milvoki

New 2025 Selection: "Milwaukee" Soybean

The registration of the "Milwaukee" variety in 2025 opens new opportunities for farmers in the Forest-Steppe and Polissya regions. This complex hybrid, developed by the specialists at "Novoiehorivka-Ahro," is focused on stable grain production in the temperate climate of Ukraine. Unlike many early-maturing varieties, "Milwaukee" demonstrates a balanced vegetation period, allowing for the efficient use of moisture potential in these zones.

Morphological Features and Development

The plant belongs to the indeterminate growth type with a semi-erect habit, ensuring a robust bush architecture. The medium stem height, combined with slight leaf blistering, makes the variety highly suitable for mechanical harvesting. Key physical characteristics include:

• Purple flowers;
• Light brown pubescence on the main stem;
• Triangular-shaped leaflets of medium size.

The variety is characterized by medium timing for the onset of flowering and maturity. This makes it predictable within crop rotation cycles, allowing agronomists to plan the harvesting campaign with precision.

Grain Quality

"Milwaukee" produces small, spherical seeds with a black hilum and a yellow seed coat. The lack of significant glossiness and the moderate intensity of pod coloration indicate specific physical and chemical properties established by the breeders. The 1000-seed weight is categorized as small, which is a critical factor when calculating seeding rates and planning plant density per hectare.

This variety is an excellent choice for farms that rely on proven Ukrainian genetics and are looking for adaptive material for regions with sufficient moisture. The indeterminate growth type allows the plant to continue building vegetative mass for a longer period, which, with proper management, translates into high grain yields.
