Expertise from Novi Sad: The Poema Soy Variety

The Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops (IFVCNS) in Novi Sad, Serbia, has long been recognized for its contribution to global agriculture, particularly in breeding soybean varieties that thrive in temperate climates. The «Poema» variety stands out as a balanced option for modern farmers, prioritizing both high productivity and environmental resilience.

Agronomic Profile

As a mid-maturing variety with a 115–120 day growth cycle, Poema provides a reliable harvest window for commercial farms. The plant height (85–100 cm) and the lower pod attachment height (12–15 cm) are specifically engineered to facilitate efficient mechanical harvesting, ensuring that potential yields reach the storage facility rather than remaining in the field.

Resistance and Quality

Disease pressure is the primary threat to profitability in soybean production. Poema brings inherent genetic resistance to Peronospora (downy mildew), Septoria, and Bacteriosis, allowing for a more sustainable approach to field management with reduced reliance on chemical treatments. The crop delivers consistent output quality:

• Protein content: 40–43%
• Oil content: 21–23%

For growers focusing on high-quality grain for protein processing or livestock feed, Poema represents a proven investment. It combines the rigorous breeding standards of the IFVCNS institution with the practical needs of field-scale production, offering a competitive edge in yield stability and grain nutritional value.
