Tridge summary

Scientists from Voronezh State Agrarian University and the Institute of Genetics and Cytology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus have developed a new soybean variety named 'Vasilisa' with a yield of up to 29 centners per hectare and a protein content of up to 40% or higher. This early-ripening variety, which took ten years to develop, is expected to increase farm profits by about 25% and has been included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation, with a patent received. Voronezh Agrarian University, established in 1912, continues to work on other soybean developments for future registration.

Scientists from the Voronezh State Agrarian University (VSAU) and colleagues from the Institute of Genetics and Cytology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus have created a new soybean variety with a yield of up to 29 centners per hectare and with a protein content of up to 40% and higher. Work on a new soybean variety has been going on for ten years, Tatyana Vashchenko, professor at the Department of Breeding, Seed Production and Biotechnology at Voronezh State Agrarian University, told TASS. “We have created a new soybean variety “Vasilisa” with the Belarusian Institute of Genetics <…> It is early ripening, with a high attachment of the lower bean <…> We worked on the creation of the variety for about 10 years,” she said. According to her, yield and protein are the main indicators of the soybean variety; in “Vasilisa” the yield is up to 29 c/ha, the protein content is up to 40% and higher. Vashchenko noted that the creation of a new soybean variety is more ...
