W9837-strain x Cikuray capable of producing seeds up to 66 3.15 tonnes/ha (an average of 2.88 tons/ha), the age of genjah (75 days), soy sauce yield reached 888%, and produce high quality soy sauce.

Thus, the results of the W9837 x Cikuray-66 higher compared with the results of the latest black soybean varieties of seed that is Detam 1 (2.66 t/ha) and Mallika (2.46 t/ha).

Meanwhile, the harvest W9837 -236 strain x 100 h average reach 2.54 t/ha, higher than seed varieties are drought tolerant, Mallika on reproductive phase, was genjah, pest-resistant suction pods and leaves of rust and could produce soy sauce by category.

Strain W9837 x-66 and Cikuray W9837 x 100 h -236 has been suggested to the team Evaluator and Rib Varieties (TP2V) the Ministry of agriculture to be removed first black soybean varieties of superior in Indonesia which was genjah.

Each of these strains will be named DETAM 3 and DETAM 4 PRIDA PRIDA (Detam = black soybeans; Prida = Riser Incentive Program Basics).

In an era of climate change, black soybean varieties mature genjah strategic value. This type is more tolerant to drought and pests through escape (escape) mechanism as well as increase the pertanaman index (IP).
