APOLLO — this is a high-quality soybean variety developed by Monsanto and adapted for Roundup herbicide control technology. It has a medium-early vegetation period of 85 to 110 days, allowing its use in various climatic conditions, including the Forest-Steppe, Polесье, and Steppe regions. Plants reach a height of 75 to 110 cm, with the lower pod attachment height of 12–16 cm, ensuring convenient harvesting and high yield. The 1000-seed mass varies from 130 to 160 g, and the protein content in the grain ranges from 38.9% to 41.3%, making this variety attractive for protein product production.
The APOLLO variety exhibits high resistance to diseases, pests, and lodging, guaranteeing a stable yield even under adverse weather conditions and temperature fluctuations. It is characterized by enhanced adaptability, optimal combination of cold and drought resistance, as well as high spring growth potential. The technological yield potential ranges from 25 to 38 ц/га, with the possibility of achieving maximum yields up to 49.8 ц/га with proper care and adherence to agronomic recommendations.
The recommended planting density is 900–950 thousand plants per hectare, with row spacing from 12.5 to 25 cm, which promotes efficient land use and improved growth conditions. The variety is suitable for both main and after-cutting plantings, expanding its application in crop rotation and enhancing economic efficiency. Thanks to its strong stem and high-quality grain, APOLLO is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to obtain a stable and high soybean yield.
