A middle-early maturing soybean cultivar bars

A middle-early maturing soybean cultivar Bars is developed from the middle maturing cultivar Parma by traits of increased resistance to charcoal rot and drought resistance. Resistance to charcoal rot in this cultivar is determined by the reduced osmotic pressure of cell sap in plant tissues. Based on the results of the variety testing of 2015-2017, seed yield of the cultivar Bars exceeded the standard cultivar Slavia by 0.06 t per ha. The plant height is 87-107 cm at the latitude of Krasnodar (45°). The new soybean cultivar Bars is highly resistant to charcoal rot and differ with increased yield in arid conditions. This allows it to be cultivated in the spring sowing in soybean-producing farms of the North Caucasian, Low Volga and Far East regions of the Russian Federation on geographic latitudes from 43 to 50°, as well as in the Republics of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.
