How to grow soybeans to achieve high yield?

Soybean, also known as soybean, is one of the common beans in our daily life. It is not only nutritious, but also versatile. From nutritious soy milk and delicious soy products to environmentally friendly fertilizers and feed , soybeans play an important role in our lives and agricultural production. So how can we grow soybeans to achieve high yields? Let’s take a look below.

1. Choose the right variety

Select suitable soybean varieties according to local climate, soil conditions and development needs. Different varieties of soybeans have different growth characteristics and yield potential.

2. Land preparation

Choose soil rich in organic matter and with a neutral or slightly acidic pH for growing soybeans. Ensure that the soil is well-drained and well-aerated to facilitate the growth and development of the soybean root system. If the soil is highly acidic, the pH can be adjusted by applying lime .

3. Land preparation and fertilization

When tilling the land, break the bottom layer of the plow and turn the soil finely. Apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers as base fertilizers before sowing to promote seedling growth and lignification of young stems. Generally, more than 20 kg of diammonium phosphate is applied per 667 square meters.

4. Sowing time

Choose a suitable sowing time according to local climatic conditions and sow when the temperature reaches 10-12℃.

5. Planting method

Adopt cultivation systems such as monocropping, intercropping, mixed cropping, interplanting or double soybean cropping. Reasonably dense planting, maintaining appropriate row spacing and plant spacing.

6. Fine management

Carry out management measures such as tillage, weeding, watering and fertilization in a timely manner. Pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, and adopt a combination of biological and chemical control.

7. Crop rotation and fallow

Implement a reasonable crop rotation system to avoid continuous cropping problems. Appropriate fallow is beneficial to the recovery of soil nutrients and the improvement of the ecological environment.

8. Harvesting and drying

Harvest soybeans in time when they are ripe to avoid losses due to pod blasting. After harvesting, dry the fruits in the sun and control the humidity to prevent mildew and germination.

Combining the above measures will help improve the high-yield potential of soybeans. However, it should be noted that during the actual planting process, management measures should be flexibly adjusted according to local actual conditions and climatic conditions.
