Growing Panonka Soybeans: Serbian Breeding in Practice

When choosing seeds for farms operating in high-risk areas for fungal diseases, Serbian breeding from Delta agrar d.o.o. is a reliable choice. We introduced the «Panonka» variety to our fields specifically to address sclerotinia, which has recently become a major challenge for soybean growers. Experience has shown that its reported resistance to phytophthora is not just marketing—it is a functional tool for maintaining plant density right up to harvest.

Agronomy and Vegetation

With a vegetation period of 100–110 days, the variety allows for a well-planned harvest schedule, avoiding the risk of late autumn rains. In the field, the crop behaves predictably: the stem is sturdy and does not lodge, which is crucial for high-capacity combine harvesters with low headers. We have noted that this variety responds well to standard agronomic practices without requiring extra effort, simplifying management during the busy season.

• Protection: A high resistance threshold to sclerotinia helps reduce fungicide costs.
• Stability: Phytophthora is rarely an issue when proper crop rotation is followed.
• Harvest: Uniform maturity eliminates unnecessary machinery passes and saves on drying costs.

If you are looking for a variety that is forgiving of minor sowing delays and holds up well against diseases, Panonka from Delta Agrar is a proven solution. It is reliable material that allows you to forecast yields based on actual resistance data rather than empty promises.
