Superior variety of soybean in terms of economically valuable characteristics and properties: Shatilovskaya 17

The aim is to increase the efficiency of soybean production in industrial crops of the Orel region, due to the annual increase in acreage, based on the replacement of old varieties with new varieties that have high yields, high protein and fat content, as well as high adaptation to the soil and climatic conditions of the region. This paper presents the results of a two-year variety testing of a new soybean variety: Shatilovskaya 17. This variety was transferred to the branch of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "State Sort Commission" in the Orel region for competitive testing in 2018 from the Federal Scientific Center of Legumes and Groat Crops. Variety testing took place at the Maloarkhangelsk varietal site. Soybeans were grown in field crop rotations where black fallow was its predecessor. The cultivation technology is generally accepted. Seeding rate - 1.0 million pcs / ha. Variety experiments were established in accordance with the methodology of crop variety testing. The experiment was repeated 4 times. The location of the plots was randomized. The plot area was 25 sq.m. The counts and observations were also carried out in accordance with the methodology of state variety testing of agricultural crops. The presented results show that the new soybean variety is not inferior to the zoned soybean varieties Lantsentnaya and Mezenka in terms of yield, and in certain years it exceeds. The new variety also benefits in its high protein and fat content. According to the results of the competitive variety testing in 2019, this variety was proposed for the first time in the 5th tolerance region. In 2020, the Shatilovskaya 17 variety was included into the State Register for the Protection and Testing of Breeding Achievements in the Central Black Earth Admission Region and it is recommended for the cultivation in the Orel Region.
