Tanais

Genetic Potential and Morphology

The 'Tanais' soybean variety, developed by the experts at NDI Soi, represents a breeding achievement focused on balancing vegetative mass with grain quality parameters. A plant height of 70–80 cm is optimal for mechanized harvesting: these dimensions minimize the risk of lodging, while the lower pods are positioned at a sufficient height from the soil level, reducing combine header losses.

Biochemical Yield Characteristics

The core value of 'Tanais' lies in its seed composition. With a protein content of 41–43%, this variety is classified as a high-protein crop, making it a preferred choice for farms involved in deep processing or supplying raw materials to feed mills. A stable oil content in the 20–21% range completes the profile, ensuring high energy value.

Phytosanitary Resistance as a Profitability Tool

The primary technological advantage of 'Tanais' is its inherent genetic immunity to a complex of the most dangerous fungal diseases:

• Peronosporosis: The variety effectively resists downy mildew, which is critical in wet spring conditions.
• Fusarium: Breeding efforts were directed at protecting the root system and vascular apparatus, minimizing plant die-off during periods of intensive growth.
• Ascochytosis: High tolerance to leaf and stem lesions ensures the preservation of the leaf canopy until full physiological maturity, which directly impacts seed filling.

Integrating these traits allows agronomists to reduce the number of fungicide treatments, lowering the cost per hectare without losing control over pathogens. 'Tanais' from NDI Soi is designed for growers who prioritize predictable yields with high-grade indicators under moderate pesticide pressure.
