Inoculate soybean seed with Bradyrhizobium japonicum bacteria before planting in fields without recent soybean history — this enables nitrogen fixation.
Soybeans fix their own nitrogen, so they rarely need N fertilizer. Applying nitrogen actually reduces nodulation and wastes money.
Plant when soil temperature reaches 13°C — soybeans are sensitive to cold soil and germinate poorly below 10°C.
The R1-R5 growth stages (flowering through seed fill) are the critical water demand period — irrigation during this window has the highest yield return.
Harvest at 13% seed moisture for direct combine harvest. Delay increases pod shatter losses, especially with dry weather and wind.
Soybeans are an excellent rotation crop before corn — they leave 40-80 kg/ha of nitrogen credit in the soil from fixation.
Soybean typically takes 100 days from planting to harvest. Seeds germinate in about 7 days. The best planting season is spring, early summer.
Soybean grows best in loam, silt loam, clay loam soil with a pH of 6-7. Good drainage is required.
Soybean grows best at 20-30°C. Frost tolerance: none. Heat tolerance: moderate.
Soybean yields approximately 2,800 kg/hectare under good conditions.
