Suzirya

Technological Potential of the 'Suziria' Soybean Variety

Developed by the National Scientific Center 'Institute of Agriculture of the NAAS', this soybean variety is engineered for intensive farming within the Ukrainian climate. The variety exhibits a balanced biological architecture, ensuring consistent yields through adaptability to varying temperature regimes and moisture availability.

Biometric Parameters and Physiology

With a vegetation period of 110–120 days, 'Suziria' is classified as a mid-season variety, perfectly suited for the majority of Ukraine’s agro-climatic zones. A plant height of 90–100 cm provides sufficient vegetative mass for nutrient accumulation while maintaining structural integrity to prevent lodging when planting densities are managed correctly.

Practical Morphological Advantages

A key engineering advantage of this variety is the height of the lowest pod attachment, which ranges from 12–14 cm. This is a critical factor for farm machinery efficiency: this height allows for mechanical harvesting with minimal grain loss, successfully capturing the yield from the lower tier. Reducing header losses during combining is the primary driver of economic efficiency when working with this variety.

Grain Quality Characteristics

The chemical composition of the seeds determines its high value in both the processing industry and feed production:

• Protein content: 37–39%. A high-performance level for a soybean variety, enabling the production of high-value protein meal.
• Oil content: 20–21%. Well-balanced parameters for universal raw material utility.

The combination of high protein levels and a stable oil yield makes 'Suziria' a reliable asset for farmers targeting a marginal product with predictable quality standards for industrial processors.
