Breeders of the Bavarian Research Institute of Agriculture have revealed to the world a new variety of soybeans - early and high-yielding.

It is noteworthy that the German climate is similar to the climatic situation of many other European countries. This suggests that soybean generous to the crop can be successfully grown far beyond the borders of Bavaria.

Today, German farmers most often grow such soybean varieties as Mentor and Merlin. Farmers noted the fruitfulness of these species and fairly rapid maturation. However, the new variety, developed by the Bavarians, took a step further in terms of quality and in the coming years will be dropped at least on German fields.

“We took into development about 15 thousand different characteristics of soybeans from different parts of Europe,” the scientists say. - We scanned each sample with infrared radiation and received information about the quality of the raw materials, the content of proteins, fats, amino acids and other things in it. They took the best of worthy samples and combined them in the new Sojabohne variety. ”

Currently, a new generation of soya beans is available only to a few companies involved in the study of seeds and selection. It is possible that, on the basis of the innovative variety, new, better, more environmentally friendly and potentially productive crops will be developed. Developments are carried out at the molecular level, which allows to identify with maximum accuracy the characteristics of flowering and plant yields, as well as the ability of soybeans to adapt to different climatic conditions.
