Odessitka soybean variety is an ultraprecocious high-protein variety, distinguished by high adaptability to growing conditions and resistance to lodging and cracking. This variety features an indeterminate growth habit, seeds with a dark brown hilum, and a thousand-seed weight ranging from 170-200 grams. Due to its early maturity, Odessitka allows for two harvests per season, significantly increasing the efficiency of crop land use. Seeding rates are 500-650 thousand seeds per hectare, and row spacing varies from 12.5 to 25 centimeters.
Odessitka is characterized by high protein (40-42%) and oil (22-24%) content in seeds, making it attractive for oilseed production and food industry applications. The plant exhibits low to medium branching, promoting optimal leaf development and light exposure. High tolerance to diseases and adverse weather conditions ensures stable yields. The vegetation period is approximately 107-108 days, enabling harvest earlier than many other soybean varieties.
Odessitka soybean is widely used in agriculture for producing food products and animal feed in livestock and poultry farming. Seeds contain a balanced amino acid profile and significant amounts of vitamins and minerals such as potassium, calcium, and phosphorus. This makes the variety versatile and in demand both domestically and for export.
