Early drought-resistant soybean cultivar selena

A soybean cultivar Selena is developed by individual selection from a hybrid population F 4 of Alba x D-6/05. As a result of the 2013-2015 variety trials, Selena exceeded a standard cultivar Slaviya on yield on 0.19 t/ha, the protein content - on 1.3%, oil content - on 0.5%. Plants of the new cultivar are resistant to lodging and pod shattering. Height of the plants under Krasnodar latitude (45°) is 95-105 cm. In wet years and at higher latitudes it can increase up to 110-120 cm. This allows this cultivar to be cultivated for grain in almost all soybean producing farms of the Southern Federal region at latitudes of 43-48°.
