The growth process of soybeans

The flowering period of soybeans is from the beginning of flowering to the withering of flowers, and the podding period is from the appearance of small pods to the formation of young pods. These two periods are collectively called the flowering and podding period. After the ovules of the plant are fertilized, the ovary gradually swells and green young pods appear. When the pods are 1 cm long, it is called podding. The flowering and podding period has a great demand for water and nutrients, and fertilizer and water management should be strengthened to achieve high yields.
