Artemis and Hermes topped the official variety charts in Belgium upon launch in 2021

Upon successful registration of the first two soybean varieties Hermes and Artemis by Protealis in Belgium, the two new varieties immediately top the charts in Belgium, boosting average protein yield/ha with up to 15% compared to the competition average.

This demonstrates both varieties are ideally suited for more Northern growing regions where soybean acreage is starting to develop.
