OAC Attika

Focusing on Stable Yields and High Protein Content

Choosing the OAC Attica soybean variety from Can-Gro Genetics is a strategic decision for farms focused on high-quality grain with a protein content of 43–45%. The breeder, Professor Istvan Rajcan from the University of Guelph, has engineered this genetics for high adaptability in temperate climates.

Agrotechnological Advantages

With a vegetation period of 120–130 days, OAC Attica is an optimal choice for regions where timely harvest before autumn rains is essential to preserve seed quality. The variety demonstrates complex resistance to key pathogens, significantly reducing the pesticide load throughout the season:

• Phytosanitary Shield: High resistance to downy mildew, septoria, and phytophthora root rot allows the plant to maintain a healthy leaf canopy until physiological maturity.
• Infection Control: Genetic resistance minimizes risks of fusarium, ascochyta, and brown spot, which is critical in high-density plantings.

Practical Field Application

OAC Attica performs best in leveled fields with high-quality seedbed preparation. Thanks to its resistance to bacterial diseases, it is well-suited for regions with variable moisture levels, where fungal outbreaks often occur during the flowering stage. To achieve target protein levels (43–45%), strict adherence to seeding density is recommended, allowing the crop to efficiently utilize moisture from deeper soil layers.

This variety is highly sought after by agronomists aiming to minimize soybean production risks and looking for a balanced product that combines disease resistance with a predictable response to fertilization. In intensive farming systems, OAC Attica becomes a reliable tool for building a profitable raw material base.
