SC DOCA is an ultra-early maturing semi-determinate soybean variety intended for cultivation in all major soybean production regions of Russia, including the Central Black Earth, North Caucasian, Ural, and West Siberian regions. The plant is of medium height (110-120 cm) with gray pubescence on the main stem and white flowers. The hypocotyl is colored with an anthocyanin hue, and the seeds are yellow with a gray hilum. The maturity period is early, with a vegetative period of 80 to 108 days depending on the region, allowing for harvest as early as the first decade of August. The variety is characterized by reduced branching and an acute angle of branch divergence from the main stem, with the lower pod attachment height being 12-14 cm. SC DOCA is distinguished by high yield and stability under various climatic conditions. Average yield in the Central Black Earth region reaches 22.4 c/ha, with maximum indicators up to 41.9 c/ha. In other regions, yield varies from 8.4 to 16.6 c/ha. The variety is resistant to lodging, pod cracking due to delayed harvest, and exhibits high resistance to drought, Fusarium, and downy mildew, ensuring harvest reliability and quality. SC DOCA seeds have high protein content (about 32.75%) and fat content (about 21.75%), making them attractive for use in the food and feed industries. The mass of 1000 seeds is approximately 135 g. Thanks to its characteristics and adaptability, the variety is suitable for cultivation in various agro-climatic conditions of Russia, providing stable and high-quality soybean crops.
