Newport soybean variety is an early-maturing non-GMO variety developed by French breeders of the company Euralis Semences. This variety is characterized by very early maturity and rapid plant drying, allowing for high yields in a short time. Plant height reaches about 52 cm, and the 1000-grain weight is approximately 167.4 g. Protein content in the seeds is very high — around 45-46%, making this variety especially valuable for the food industry. Additionally, oil content reaches 19.8%, which is also an important quality indicator.
Newport exhibits high resistance to lodging, seed shattering, drought, and mechanical harvesting, ensuring stable yields under various climatic conditions. The variety is recommended for sowing on all soil types and possesses high genetic resistance to diseases, including tolerance to sclerotinia. Early flowering and maturity make it an ideal predecessor for winter crops, expanding its use in crop rotation.
This soybean variety is versatile and suitable for various cultivation technologies and soil-climate zones. The light seed hilum facilitates its use in the food industry, and its high yield, reaching up to 24.9 centners/ha in some regions, confirms its economic efficiency. Thanks to its characteristics, Newport is an excellent choice for farmers seeking an early and high-quality soybean harvest.
