ZANA is a medium-early soybean variety with high agronomic indicators, intended for cultivation in the Central Black Earth, North Caucasian, and Far Eastern regions. The plant has a determinate growth type, average height of about 85 cm, with a semi-erect form and reddish-brown pubescence on the main stem. Leaves are compound with a triangular side leaflet, flowers are purple. Seeds are of medium size, elongated, yellow in color with a yellow hilum, with a 1000-seed mass of approximately 154 g. The vegetative period lasts about 117-120 days, which classifies the variety as early-maturing. The ZANA variety is distinguished by increased resistance to lodging (rating 9), as well as good resistance to shattering (7) and sclerotinia (8), ensuring healthy plant condition throughout the vegetative period. Average yield in the Central Black Earth region reaches 26.3 centners/ha, with maximum indicators up to 48.5 centners/ha. The height of attachment of the lower pod is about 14.7 cm, which facilitates harvest collection. Special attention is given to the nutrient content in seeds: protein ranges from 39.2% to 46%, and fat is about 20.4%. Due to high protein content, the ZANA variety is recommended for the production of oilseed products and can be grown on all soil types. Its improved agronomic characteristics make this variety an attractive choice for farmers seeking high and quality soybean yields.
