Soybean cultivation time

Soybean, also known as soybean, is a very common crop in our daily life. Soybeans are not only rich in nutritional value, but can also be processed into various foods, such as tofu , soy milk, fermented black beans, etc. Let’s talk about the cultivation time of soybeans.

1. Soybean cultivation time

Soybean is a typical temperate plant and is suitable for growing in a warm and humid environment. Generally speaking, soybeans are usually planted in spring and summer, and the specific time varies depending on the regional climatic conditions and planting systems.

In southern regions, such as the Yangtze River Basin and the Pearl River Basin, due to the relatively warm temperature, soybeans can be planted in spring from March to April and harvested in summer from June to July; while in northern regions, such as the Northeast Plain and the North China Plain, soybeans are usually planted in spring from May to June and harvested in autumn from September to October.

2. Soybean planting technology

1. Choose seeds

Selecting high-quality seeds is the key to successful soybean cultivation . When purchasing seeds, choose varieties that are plump, free of pests and diseases, and adapted to the climate and soil conditions in the area. In addition, pay attention to the purity and clarity of the seeds, and try to choose high-purity, high-quality seeds.

2. Prepare the Land

Choose a fertile, well-drained plot of land for planting. Before planting, deep plowing should be carried out to loosen the soil and increase soil permeability. At the same time, weeds and stones in the fields are removed to ensure a good growing environment for soybeans.

3. Fertilization and watering

Soybeans need sufficient nutrients and water to grow. When preparing the land, apply enough base fertilizer, mainly organic fertilizer , combined with an appropriate amount of chemical fertilizer. After sowing, water the soil sufficiently to ensure that the soybean seeds have the moisture they need for germination and growth.

4. Thinning and transplanting

After the soybean seedlings grow out, thinning and transplanting should be carried out in time. Thinning refers to removing weak and diseased seedlings after they have grown out, leaving behind healthy and strong seedlings. Planting refers to planting soybean seedlings at a certain distance based on variety characteristics and planting density requirements.

5. Notes

When planting soybeans, you need to pay attention to the following points:

(1) Choose the right soybean variety: Choose the right soybean variety based on local climate conditions, soil characteristics and market demand.

(2) Pay attention to climatic conditions: Soybeans are plants that like warmth and moisture. Avoid planting them under adverse climatic conditions, such as low temperature and drought.

(3) Avoid pests and diseases: Common pests and diseases of soybeans include rust, aphids, and bean pod borers, so pay attention to prevention and treatment. When purchasing seeds, choose varieties that are disease-resistant. During the planting process, check the growth of the plants regularly to detect and treat diseases and pests in a timely manner.

Soybean is a high-protein, low-fat crop with high nutritional value. Soybeans can not only be processed into various foods, but can also be used to make soybean meal , soybean oil and other products. Therefore, soybean has always been in high demand in the market.
