Soybean cultivation involves growing the Glycine max plant, which is a key source of protein and oil. Farmers typically plant soybeans in warm weather, as they thrive in temperatures between 70°F and 95°F. The seeds are sown in well-drained soil, and the plants require adequate sunlight and moisture to grow effectively. During the growing season, soybeans are monitored for pests and diseases, which can affect yield. Harvesting usually occurs in late summer to early fall when the pods turn brown and dry. Proper management practices, including crop rotation and soil testing, help ensure a successful harvest.
