The Latest Soybean Planting Techniques and Methods Tutorial

Soybean holds a very important position in China and is one of the country's staple crops. China's annual consumption of soybean is very large, and its market demand is increasing year by year. Moreover, China is also a major soybean exporting country. So with the growth of market demand, the soybean planting area also urgently needs to be expanded. So how should soybean be planted? Below, the editor brings you the soybean planting techniques. Let's take a look!

1. Land selection and soil preparation

Soybean is suitable for growing on plots with fertile soil, normal drainage and irrigation, and no pests or diseases, which can effectively increase soybean yield. However, note that soybean cannot be grown continuously, otherwise pests and diseases are very likely to occur and affect soybean growth. After selecting the land, plow the soil about 30 cm deep, then level it. Pick out the residues of the previous crop, weeds, and large stones in the field to avoid pathogens harming soybean growth. Then, according to your own planting habits, decide whether to use ridge cultivation or bed cultivation.

2. Variety selection

There are many soybean varieties. When choosing planting varieties, we should select suitable varieties according to the actual soil conditions, environment, and various other factors. After purchasing seeds, pay attention to doing a good job of sprouting and disinfecting the seeds. First, soak the seeds in warm water at about 40 degrees for about 5-6 hours. When the seeds are found to have absorbed water and swollen, take them out and dry them to break the seeds' dormancy period. Then use chemicals to dress the seeds to avoid harm from underground pests, eliminate pathogens inside the seeds, and improve the germination and seedling emergence rate.

3. Timely sowing

When sowing soybean, the sowing method should be adjusted appropriately according to different varieties. For example, early-maturing varieties are mainly drilled, while late-maturing varieties are mainly hole-sown. Then choose a suitable sowing time according to the season. If it is summer sowing, it should be carried out after wheat harvest. Do not sow too late, and at the latest no later than July, otherwise it will have a certain impact on soybean yield. When sowing, pay attention to controlling the sowing density. It should not be too dense, to prevent mutual interference with growth. After sowing, cover with soil and film, and water appropriately to improve the seed germination rate.

4. Daily management

When planting soybean, pay attention to a series of management tasks such as water and fertilizer, intertillage and weeding, and shading. First, control water well. While meeting soybean growth water needs, do not apply excessive water, to prevent root rot and pests and diseases. Apply fertilizer reasonably according to soil fertility and soybean growth conditions. When the field temperature is too high, pay attention to cooling work to avoid direct sunlight on soybean plants and causing soybean sunscald. Then carry out intertillage and weeding regularly to prevent weeds from taking away nutrients, reasonably improve the soil structure, increase soil fertility, and promote soybean nutrient and water absorption.

The above is a brief introduction to soybean planting techniques. When planting soybean, field management work is very important. Therefore, we must strengthen management, improve soybean growth capacity, increase yield, and protect our own planting benefits. That is all for today's introduction.
