Soybean Uruz

Reliable Yields in Organic Farming Systems

The «Uruz» variety, developed by the Institute of Organic Agriculture, is designed for producers who prioritize high-quality grain with superior protein content. With a growing season of 105–110 days, this variety fits perfectly into the mid-season maturity bracket, allowing agronomists to manage harvest timing effectively while mitigating weather-related risks toward the end of the season.

Agronomic Advantages for Mechanical Harvesting

One of the primary challenges in soybean production is harvest loss due to low pod placement. «Uruz» solves this with a lower pod attachment height of 12–15 cm. This allows for cleaner cutting, reducing field losses and ensuring that the combine header operates efficiently without scraping the soil surface. With a plant height of 90–110 cm, the variety is well-suited for standard combine configurations, ensuring a seamless harvest workflow.

Market Value: Protein and Oil Composition

For processors, «Uruz» offers a balanced profile: 40–42% protein and 21–23% oil. The high protein concentration makes it highly desirable for the feed industry and international export markets, where seed quality standards remain paramount.

Practical Application: This variety is an excellent choice for farms transitioning to or already operating under organic standards. Its adaptability to varying field conditions allows for consistent yields without the need for excessive synthetic inputs, maximizing economic efficiency. As a component of a crop rotation strategy, it delivers both soil-improving properties and a marketable, high-protein commodity.
