Resilient and High-Yielding Soybean for Upland & Low Rainfall Conditions

TULASI is a high-quality soybean variety, developed for fast maturity, high pod density, and excellent adaptability to low-rainfall and upland conditions. With a maturity period of 82–89 days, this variety ensures early harvesting and consistent yields. The violet flowers, lanceolate leaves, and four-seeded pods contribute to higher productivity, while its black hilum provides a strong market preference. Additionally, TULASI exhibits strong resistance to root rot, insect pests, and drought, making it a reliable choice for commercial soybean farmers.

Cultivation Guidelines

Planting Instructions:


  • Land Preparation:

    Ensure a well-drained, loamy soil for best growth results.

  • Sowing Depth:

    Sow seeds at 2–3 cm depth for optimal germination.

  • Spacing:

    Maintain a row spacing of 30–40 cm to allow healthy root and canopy growth.

Maintenance Tips:

  • Irrigation:

    Requires minimal watering, making it ideal for low-rainfall regions.

  • Fertilization:

    Apply a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for enhanced pod formation.

  • Pest & Disease Control:

    Regular monitoring and use of resistant varieties help maintain crop health.

Harvesting Tips:

  • Best Time:

    Harvest fully matured plants at 82–89 days for best-quality seeds

  • Method:

    Hand-picking or mechanical harvesting ensures efficient collection and minimal seed damage.

  • Storage:

    Proper drying and moisture-free storage extend shelf life and improve marketability.
