SOVHOZNY

Stability in the field: «Sovkhozny» Chickpea

Managing the risk of ascochyta blight is the primary concern for any chickpea producer. The «Sovkhozny» variety, developed by the Vavilov Institute of Plant Genetic Resources, was bred specifically to address this challenge. It represents a pragmatic choice for producers prioritizing survival and consistent performance over the volatile yields of less resistant foreign hybrids.

Key Advantages and Technical Specs

The standout feature of «Sovkhozny» is its genetic resistance to ascochyta blight. This inherent trait serves as a crucial line of defense, significantly reducing the necessity for intensive fungicide applications and protecting the bottom line. Furthermore, its high resistance to pod shattering provides farmers with a wider harvesting window, reducing field losses during unfavorable weather conditions.

• Planting Depth: 6–8 cm. This depth allows the seeds to tap into deeper soil moisture reserves, which is essential for ensuring uniform emergence in arid regions.
