Soybean Jacklin

Reliability of Ukrainian Selection in the Early-Maturing Soybean Segment

The 'Jacqueline' soybean variety, developed by the National Scientific Center 'Institute of Agriculture of NAAS', represents a model of adaptive breeding focused on the climatic realities of Ukraine. This variety firmly holds a niche among early-maturing crops, allowing farmers to efficiently utilize short agro-climatic windows and plan crop rotations with timely harvesting in mind.

Agronomic Profile and Productivity

The key advantage of 'Jacqueline' is its balanced combination of vegetation period and chemical composition of the seeds. The vegetation period lasts 90–100 days, making the variety an excellent precursor for winter cereals. The plant is distinguished by its compactness and uniformity, reaching a height of 70–80 cm, which simplifies mechanized harvesting and minimizes field losses.

• Biochemical composition: The variety demonstrates high quality raw material metrics, in demand by both the food and feed industries. Protein content ranges from 39–41%, while oil content stands at 21–22%.
• Production significance: High yield potential combined with lodging resistance makes 'Jacqueline' a reliable tool for building a stable farm economy, especially in regions with high-risk farming conditions.

'Jacqueline' is more than just seed material; it is the result of years of breeding work aimed at realizing genetic potential within a continental climate. Selecting this variety is a strategic decision for farmers focused on stable harvests with predictable grain quality characteristics.
