Soybean variety SOLENA is a Canadian transgenic variety developed using advanced biotechnology and nanotechnology to ensure high yield, resilience, and efficient cultivation. This variety was created to help farmers adapt to the challenges of global warming, ensuring stable yields even under adverse climatic conditions. SOLENA exhibits enhanced resistance to a broad spectrum of pests, including aphids, beetles, and fungal diseases, reducing the need for pesticides and minimizing environmental impact.
Soybean plants of the SOLENA variety have a medium-early maturity period with a vegetative cycle of approximately 113 days and very early flowering. The plant is characterized by a semi-determinate or indeterminate growth type, reaching a height of about 68 cm, with yellow seeds featuring a dark-brown hilum. The 1000-seed weight is 157 g. The attachment height of the lower pod is 15.7 cm. Flowers are purple, and the hypocotyl has anthocyanin pigmentation with reddish-brown stem hairs. Average yield in the region is 15.9 centners/ha, with maximum yields reaching 30.3 centners/ha.
Soybean SOLENA has improved nutritional properties, including increased protein content (approximately 40.23%) and fat (approximately 19.18%), as well as beneficial micronutrients such as iron, zinc, and magnesium. Due to genetic modifications, the variety is herbicide-tolerant, simplifying weed control and enhancing the efficiency of agronomic practices. Additionally, SOLENA is an energy-saving crop, requiring less water and energy during cultivation, making it an environmentally favorable choice for farmers aiming for sustainable agriculture.
