CSB 938

Genetic Potential and Grain Biochemistry

The French soybean hybrid KSB 938 from Caussade Semences is a high-tech solution for farms focused on producing high-protein raw materials with predictable yields. The product relies on a precise balance between the plant's metabolic activity and the accumulation of dry matter in the pods.

Morphological Features and Adaptability

A key engineering decision in the plant's architecture is the height of the lowest pod attachment, which ranges from 12 to 15 cm. For an agronomist, this is a critical parameter that minimizes harvesting losses—standard headers can effectively capture the yield while leaving minimal residue in the field. An overall plant height of 85–100 cm ensures optimal distribution of photosynthetically active radiation across the plant layers, preventing lodging even at high stand densities.

Productivity and Raw Material Quality

• Protein Profile: A protein content of 40–42% makes this hybrid highly sought after in feed production and for deep-processing fractionation.
• Oil Content: The 21–23% oil content complements the biochemical profile, ensuring the crop's high energy value.
• Vegetation Period: A period of 115–120 days positions the KSB 938 as a mid-season hybrid capable of effectively realizing its potential in temperate climates, utilizing accumulated active temperature sums to form high-quality grain.

Choosing Caussade Semences genetics is a strategic move for those seeking stability under intensive cultivation practices, where both biomass and specific protein percentages at the warehouse gate are crucial.
