Description
The soybean (Glycine max), often referred to simply as soy, is a species of plant in the legume family (Fabaceae).
Origin:
North China, Japan
Growing tips
As an extremely heat-loving specimen among the legumes, soybeans attach importance to a location in warm locations. It does not cope well with harsh sites and late frosts. It quickly suffers frost damage if sown there too early. Locations in a sunny to semi-shady position are well suited. The soybean needs a slightly warm subsoil to thrive. It should be moderately heavy and its structure should prevent waterlogging. Furthermore, a slightly acidic to neutral, calcareous soil is recommended.
