Offering a profitable combination of yield potential and exceptional agronomic characteristics, Pannar’s cultivars demonstrate stability over different yield potentials, production areas and seasons. We provide a full range of maturity classes covering almost all planting dates and densities.
Farming for the future means building your farming operation on a long-term vision and objectives that will keep you in business for generations. The versatile Pannar® brand soybean package has unparalleled stability at different yield potential levels and over different production regions. It is a proven and safe choice.
A good rotation programme in your cropping system is one of the practices that will sustain your farming business for the future. Soybeans offer many advantages as a rotation crop, particularly in combination with maize in the medium and high-potential areas. Pannar’s soybean package is versatile and should give you the best chance to succeed.
Pannar has access to the very best commercial soybean cultivars, either locally bred or accessed from around the world. Pannar’s policy is to release the best varieties possible into the South African market, regardless of where they originate. You can always be certain that if a cultivar appears in our range, it has already been thoroughly tested by the most comprehensive evaluation programme in the country.
Pannar has managed to contain the cultivar package to eight exceptional products, offering a full range of maturity classes that will cover almost all planting date/production area combinations.
All Pannar cultivars are tested using the rhizobial strain
WB74 nodule-forming bacterial inoculant. All yield data is
generated using this strain, which means that if a farmer
chooses to use a different strain of rhizobium, the yield
information and cultivar recommendations provided may
be irrelevant.
This variety hits the maturity sweet-spot. It is quick enough to fit into the early maturity category, but late enough to produce a decent yield. This versatile cultivar will cater for all your early maturity variety needs, be that for the main planting in the cool production areas, or delayed planting after wheat in the temperate production areas.

If we need to single out a cultivar for preferential planting it is PAN 1521R. Unmatched yield potential and stability (yield probability) over different yield potentials, production areas and seasons. Equally well-suited to cool, temperate and hot regions. This cultivar has a characteristically strong and deeply developed root system, which comes into its own in the water table soils of the western production regions. A winning combination of yield and agronomic characteristics.
