Soybean OAS Sandy

Stable Yields in Short Seasons

OAC Candy from Can-Gro Genetics is a breeding solution tailored for growers who prioritize ultra-early maturity without sacrificing quality. Developed under the supervision of originator Istvan Rajkan, this variety is optimized for regions with shorter growing seasons, allowing farmers to integrate soybeans efficiently into their crop rotation and mitigate the risks of early autumn frosts.

Agronomic Potential and Performance

The core strength of this variety lies in its balance between growth and output. With a vegetation period of just 90-100 days, the plant displays excellent plasticity, reaching heights between 80 and 130 cm depending on moisture levels and soil fertility. This adaptability makes it a reliable performer across varying environments.

• Grain Quality: Protein content ranges from 41-43%, while oil content hits 22-23%, making it highly competitive in the processing market.
• Harvest Efficiency: The lower pods are set at a height of 14-20 cm, a critical factor for minimizing losses during straight combining.
• Disease Protection: Genetic resistance to Phytophthora root rot reduces the burden on fungicide programs, helping to maintain healthier stands with fewer inputs.

Who is this variety for?

OAC Candy is a workhorse for farms practicing intensive agriculture in cooler latitudes or those planning to plant winter crops immediately after harvest. Due to its rapid development and tight maturity cycle, the variety minimizes risks associated with moisture loss and schedule disruptions during the planting campaign. While it does not require pampered conditions, it performs exceptionally well on well-leveled fields with balanced mineral fertilization, where its protein and oil potential can be fully realized.
