The main ecosystem soybean production in Indonesia is a wetland. The biggest opportunity soybean planting in paddy fields is the dry season. In such conditions, soybean cultivation often face the risk of crop failure due to drought. Dering 1 soybean variety was assembled to resolve the issue.
Dering 1 variety derived from a single cross between Davros (high yielding variety) and MLG 2984 (drought tolerant genotype). Selection method used is pedigree selection. Selection of drought tolerance has been done on the generation F4 - F5 to advanced yield trials. Through this selection is obtained promising line with number DV/2984-330.
