Field Preparation |
-
Soybean should be grown in upland.
-
One deep ploughing once in every two years.
-
The depth of ploughing should not be more
then 15 cms.
-
Ploughing should be followed by 1 or 2 light
harrowing or 1chiselling.
-
PSB may be applied at 3.00 kg/ha as soil
application.
-
The inoculants should be mixed with 150 kg
soil/FYM/ compost and it should be broadcasted uniformly at the
time of last harrowing before sowing.
-
If the field is having weed problem then
stale seed bed technique can be used.
-
Let a heavy flush of weeds emerge and be
destroyed with herbicide before sowing the
crop, without any tillage on it.

Seed & Sowing |
-
Seed treatment is very essential to prevent
the crop from soil and seed borne diseases.
-
This should be done by treating seeds with 3
gms of Bavistin for per kg of seed.
-
The treatment of soybean seeds should be done
before seed inoculation.
-
For seed inoculation the farmers should use
Rhizobium culture at the rate of 5 gm per one kilogram (1.00 kg)
of seed.
-
Seeds can also be treated with Trichoderma
viridae and Phosphorus Solubilising Bacteria (PSB) at the rate
of 5 gm per kilogram of seed.
-
For inoculation use freshly prepared peat
based culture of Rhizobium japonicum.
-
For inoculation first moist the seeds with
water and mix the culture uniformly in shade in required
quantity just before sowing.

Harvest
|
- Harvesting should be done only when the pods mature fully.
- The plants have yellow leaves along with huge amount of leaf
drop.
- Soybean should be harvested at a moisture percentage of 12 -
14 %.
- Soybean should be harvested in the morning or during early
hours of the day to avoid shattering.
- Shattering will be high under low humidity conditions.
