Soybeans are grown by planting seeds in warm soil, typically from late spring to early summer. Here's a more detailed breakdown of the process:
-
Timing is Key: Soybeans need warm soil to germinate and thrive. Planting usually occurs from late spring to early summer when the soil temperature is consistently warm.
-
Planting the Seeds:
- Create small holes in a cultivated bed or row.
- Place the soybean seeds approximately 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
- Ensure the seeds are buried about one-half inch (1 cm) deep.
-
Thinning the Plants: After germination, thin the plants so they are about 6 inches (15 cm) apart in all directions. This provides adequate space for growth and development.
