Soybean
SOIL AND CLIMATE
Soil
- It gives good result, when grown on well drained, fertile loamy soils. pH of 6 to 7.5 is favourable for optimum yield of soybean. Water logged, saline/alkaline soils are not suitable for its cultivation.
Climate
- Sowing Temperature: 25-38°C
- Harvesting Temperature: 18-25°C
- Rainfall: 30-60cm
LAND PREPARATION
Prepare field by giving 2-3 ploughings followed by planking
TIME OF SOWING
Kharif: April-June
SEED RATE (per acre)
25-30 kg/ acre
SPACING
Spacing:
- 45 cm (row to row) X 4-7 cm (plant to plant)
Sowing depth: 2.5-5 cm
SEED TREATMENT
To protect seeds from soil borne diseases, treat seeds with Thiram or Captan@3 gm per kg of seeds
IRRIGATION
Overall crop required 3 to 4 irrigation. Irrigation at time of pod filling stage is necessary. Water stress at this period will affect yield drastically. Apply irrigation depending upon rainfall conditions. No irrigation required in good rainfall conditions.
