Sharm

Reliable Yields and Robust Disease Resistance

The 'Sharm' soybean variety, developed by the Institute of Oilseed Crops of NAAS, is an excellent choice for farmers prioritizing phytosanitary reliability. Unlike many imported hybrids that require heavy fungicide applications, 'Sharm' demonstrates strong genetic resistance to major pathogens such as Peronospora, Septoria, and Fusarium. This intrinsic resilience allows agricultural producers to optimize chemical protection costs without compromising yield potential.

Agronomic Efficiency and Harvesting

The architecture of the 'Sharm' variety is specifically adapted for mechanized harvesting. With a plant height of 90–100 cm and a lower pod attachment height of 10–12 cm, this variety minimizes harvesting losses significantly. The lower pods are positioned high enough to be captured by standard headers, allowing for clean and efficient threshing with minimal field loss.

Grain Quality Profile

The biochemical composition of 'Sharm' meets modern industry standards for processing:

• Protein Content: 35–37%, making it a valuable resource for soy meal production.
• Oil Content: 22–23%, ensuring a competitive yield of soybean oil.

Competitive Advantages: Superior adaptation to Ukrainian soil and climatic conditions and built-in resistance to key fungal diseases, significantly reducing the pesticide load.
Best Use Case: 'Sharm' is perfectly suited for operations that value consistency over extreme intensity. It is a stable, reliable performer that demonstrates durability in challenging seasonal conditions, provided that standard crop rotation practices are followed.
