Stability and Yield Potential

The «Ofelia» soybean variety is the result of long-term breeding work by the Institute of Oilseed Crops of NAAS and the NSC «Institute of Agriculture». This variety is designed for agricultural enterprises that prioritize the balance between robust vegetative mass and high-quality grain characteristics. With a genetic height potential of 100–130 cm, the plants develop a strong structure capable of efficient photosynthesis and the formation of a significant number of pods.

Agronomic Features and Practical Use

Selecting «Ofelia» for the sowing campaign is justified for intensive farming operations. The variety shows adaptability to various soil and climatic zones of Ukraine. The practical value of «Ofelia» is evidenced by its key grain quality indicators:

• Protein Potential: The protein content ranges from 37% to 41%, making the crop attractive for both deep processing and export.
• Oil Content: A level of 22–23% allows the crop to be treated as high-quality raw material for crushing plants.

The high-growth habit (up to 130 cm) places specific demands on crop protection systems. The variety is highly responsive to timely weed control during early stages, as rapid development requires sufficient nutrient availability. When planning agronomic operations, it is crucial to manage plant density to maximize productivity while minimizing the risk of lodging.

Why Choose «Ofelia»?

This is an optimal choice for farms focused on producing high-grade commercial seeds. The stable chemical profile of the grain facilitates long-term supply contracts with processors. If your strategy combines cost-effective input management with the delivery of high-quality yields suitable for meal or oil production, «Ofelia» is a reliable asset for your crop rotation.
