How does the weather affect soybean growth?
Insufficient light will affect photosynthesis and reduce yield.
Soybean likes temperature, and its seeds begin to germinate at 10- 12℃.
The optimum temperature is 15-20℃, the optimum temperature for growth is 20-25℃, the optimum temperature for flowering and pod setting is 20-28℃, pod setting is delayed at low temperature, plants below 14℃ can't bloom, and the growth ends early when the temperature is too high. Seed germination needs more water, and the soil water content is required to be 70%-80% at flowering stage, otherwise it will increase the bud drop rate. The amount of fertilizer absorbed by soybean before flowering is less than 15% of the total absorption, while the flowering and pod-setting period accounts for more than 80% of the total absorption.
