Climatic Requirements
|
| |
For most soybean varieties temperature between 26.5 to 30 degree centigrade appears to be optimal. Soil temperature of 15.5 degree centigrade or above favours rapid germination and vigorous seedling growth. The minimum temperature for effective growth is about 10 degree centigrade.

Soil
|
| |
Well drained and fertile loam soils with pH between 6.0-7.5 are most ideal for the cultivation of soybean. Sodic and saline soils inhibit germination of seeds. Waterlogging is harmful to the crop.

Variety
|
| |
Soybean has been grown in the low hill Kumaon, on the foothills of Garhwal regions of the Himalayas and some scattered parts in central India for ages. However, this crop failed to make impact on Indian agriculture primarily because of the low yields, low duration of maturity, shattering of grains from the pods etc. Selection of varieties depends mainly on the following factors:
- Method Of Sowing
- Crop Rotation
- Pest and Disease
- Irrigration Facilities
- Climatic Conditions
