Planting Instructions
Seed Preparation
Soak Seeds:
Soak seeds in water for 12-24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and encourage quicker germination.
Inoculation (Optional):
Treat seeds with a soybean inoculant to enhance nitrogen fixation.
Sowing
Timing:
Sow seeds after the last frost date in spring when the soil temperature reaches at least 60°F (15°C).
Spacing:
Plant seeds 1-1.5 inches (2.5-3.8 cm) deep and 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) apart in rows spaced 24-30 inches (61-76 cm) apart.
Germination
Time: Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days.
Conditions:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged until seedlings emerge.
Transplanting
Direct Seeding Preferred: Soybeans are generally direct-seeded, as they do not transplant well due to their delicate roots.
Care and Maintenance
Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil evenly moist. Weeding: Keep the area weed-free to reduce competition for nutrients and water. Harvesting: Harvest soybeans when pods are full and green for fresh consumption, or allow pods to dry on the plant for storage beans.
