The listing, 8 soybean seed's Look 'Free shipping' WORLDWIDE! has ended.
Ready to post '8' Soybeans, tender warm-weather legumes. Sow soybeans in spring 2 to 3 weeks after the average last frost date when the soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Soybeans can be planted earlier in warm-winter regions. Soybeans grow best where the daytime temperature averages in the 70°sF
Site. Plant soybeans in full sun; soybeans will tolerate partial shade but the yield will be reduced. Soybeans grow best in loose, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Soybeans prefer a soil pH of 6.0 to 6.8. Soybeans are tolerant of poor soil.
Planting time. Sow soybeans in spring 2 to 3 weeks after the average last frost date when the soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Soybeans grow best where the daytime temperature averages between 60° and 70°F. Plant soybeans in late winter in warm-winter regions. Soybeans are not frost tolerant.
Planting and spacing. Sow soybean seeds 1 to 2 inches deep, 2 to 4 inches apart in rows 24 to 30 inches apart. Thin successful seedlings from 4 to 6 inches apart; cut away thinned seedlings with scissors at ground level being careful not to disturb the roots of remaining plants. Do not soak seed before planting and do not over water immediately after planting; too moist seeds may crack and germinate poorly.
Water and feeding. Keep planting beds evenly moist until soybeans have pushed through the soil. Water regularly during flowering and pod formation. Avoid overhead watering which can cause flowers and pods to fall off. Mulch when the soil warms to greater than 60°F to conserve soil moisture. Add aged compost to planting beds in advance of planting. Side dress soybeans with aged compost at midseason. Avoid adding nitrogen-rich fertilizers to planting beds. Soybeans, like other legumes, set up a mutual exchange with soil microorganisms called nitrogen-fixing bacteria to produce nitrogen compounds used by the plant.
Companion plants. Potatoes, cucumbers, corn, strawberries, celery, summer savory. Do not plant soybeans with onion or garlic.
