Gutsulka

Stable yields across diverse landscapes

Developed by the Prykarpatska Agricultural Research Station, the "Hutsulka" soybean variety was created to address the needs of farmers working in regions with high humidity and cooler climates. Unlike many imported hybrids that demand intensive management, this variety demonstrates remarkable plasticity and adaptation to Ukrainian soil and climatic conditions.

Key advantages

• Crop Health: Genetic resistance to fusarium, downy mildew (peronosporosis), and septoria allows for significant savings on fungicide applications. This makes "Hutsulka" an excellent candidate for farms practicing organic farming or those seeking to reduce chemical inputs.
• Harvest Efficiency: The lower pod attachment height (12–15 cm) is the "gold standard" for minimizing harvest losses. Direct combining is straightforward, which is crucial for maintaining seed quality.
• Biochemical Profile: Consistent levels of 40–42% protein and 20–22% oil make the variety highly sought after by both processing plants and feed manufacturers.

Who is this variety for?

"Hutsulka" is ideal for farmers looking for a "workhorse" with a medium vegetation period (110–115 days). If your farm is located in an area with sufficient moisture, where other varieties often suffer from fungal diseases, this choice is economically justified. The plant, reaching 90–105 cm, possesses a robust vegetative mass that effectively shades the soil, suppressing weed growth.

While its yield potential might be slightly lower than that of highly specialized intensive hybrids, "Hutsulka" compensates with stability under stress. It is a variety for those who value predictability and reliable results over the pursuit of record-breaking numbers under ideal conditions.
