Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety Folio is used as a reference variety for testing morphological characteristics of soybean seeds. In official UPOV guidelines, it is used as an example for characterizing the color of the hilum, which is defined as imperfect black.

Data on economic characteristics of the variety, such as maturity group, yield, or disease resistance, are absent in open publications. The variety serves as a morphological marker for identification and comparison with other varieties, rather than for commercial agricultural production.
