SCULPTOR

Soybean variety Sculptor is an early-maturing and high-yielding variety, distinguished by high resistance to lodging, shattering, and drought. Plants reach a height of 75 to 86 cm and develop rapidly at early stages, promoting quick soil coverage and effective weed control. The variety is stable in yield and recommended for cultivation in various climatic zones, including Polesie, Forest-Steppe, Steppe, as well as regions of Central, Central Chernozem, and Volga regions of Russia, and Pavlodar, Jambyl, and Akmola regions. Sculptor is characterized by high protein and oil content in the seed, making it especially attractive for producing soy milk and other protein-rich products. Average protein content ranges from 33.6% to 42%, and oil content varies from 22.5% to 26%. The 1000-seed mass is at a medium level, around 174.6 g. High number of pods per plant and attachment of the lower pod at a height of 7–15 cm ensure a stable and high yield, which can reach 3.5 t/ha or 27.7 c/ha. Variety Sculptor has good disease resistance and is included in the state register of breeding achievements. Its early maturity (maturity group 000) allows timely harvest with high-quality grain. Recommended planting density at harvest time is 700–750 thousand plants per hectare, promoting optimal growth and maximum productivity of the crop. The producer of this variety is Saaten Union, as well as breeders from company SOKO.
