Soybean Growth Stages A Visual Guide to Soybean Growth Stages Understanding and being able to correctly identify the growth stages of soybean is important for making sound agronomic management decisions. This guide describes the growth stages starting with germination, progressing through the vegetative stages (V) and concluding with the reproductive stages (R). Coolbeans! Germination cotyledons Germination begins with the seed absorbing 50% of its weight in water, this is called imbibition 9 Imbibition is dependent on imbibition radicle soil temperature (optimum 60-70°F) and soil moisture (optimum 50%) 9 Imbibition requires good seed-to-soil contact hypocotyl 9 The radicle (or primary root) grows from the swollen seed and elongates downward 9 The hypocotyl begins elongation upward toward the soil surface, pulling the cotyledons along radicle VE growing point Vegetative Stage Emergence Cotyledons above the soil surface VE stage occurs approximately 5-14 days after planting depending upon the soil temperature, which can be influenced by planting date 9 Soil crusting and planting depth cotyledon (either too deep or too shallow) cotyledon can inhibit emergence 9 Planting too deep can also delay emergence; planting depth should be between ¾ to 1-½ inches main stem There are two methods used to determine the vegetative growth stages of soybean. Although they use different techniques, the Methods resulting growth stage determination is the same; it’s helpful to understand how both work and be familiar with the terminology. 1.

A node is the part of the stem where the leaf petiole develops. Leaf scars can be useful for locating unifoliolate nodes even if the leaves are lost or leaf node damaged. scar 1. Begin at the lowest portion of the stem above the soil surface. Feel for the first set of scars from the cotyledons. The scars will be opposite on the stem. 2.

  • What Are Soybeans?
    candy, cakes, cheeses, peanut butter, animal feeds, candles, paint, body lotions, biodiesel, furniture soybeans USES: What are soybeans? Soybeans are small round seeds, each with a tiny hilum (small brown spot). They are made up of three basic parts. Each soybean has a seed coat (outside cover that protects the seed), VOCABULARY cotyledon (the first leaf or pair of leaves within the embryo that stores food), and the embryo (part of a seed that develops into Cultivar: a variety of plant that has been created or a new plant, including the stem, leaves and roots). Soybeans, selected intentionally and maintained through cultivation. like most legumes, perform nitrogen fixation. Modern soybean Embryo: part of a seed that develops into a new plant, cultivars generally reach a height of around 1 m (3.3 ft), and including the stem, leaves and roots. take 80–120 days from sowing to harvesting. Exports: products or items that the U.S. sells and sends to other countries. Exports include raw products like whole soybeans or processed products like soybean oil or Leaflets soybean meal. Fertilizer: any substance used to fertilize the soil, especially a commercial or chemical manure. Hilum: the scar on a seed marking the point of attachment to its seed vessel (the brown spot). Leaflets: sub-part of leaf blade. All but the first node of soybean plants produce leaves with three leaflets. Legume: plants that perform nitrogen fixation and whose fruit is a seed pod. Beans, peas, clover and alfalfa are all legumes. Nitrogen Fixation: the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen Leaf into a nitrogen compound by certain bacteria, such as Stem rhizobium in the root nodules of legumes.

  • Crediting Legumes in the NSLP and SBP
    Crediting Legumes in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program This guidance applies to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) meal patterns for grades K-12 and preschoolers (ages 1-4) in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), School Breakfast Program (SBP), Seamless Summer Option (SSO) of the NSLP, and Afterschool Snack Program (ASP) of the NSLP. For information on the meal patterns and crediting foods for grades K-12, visit the Connecticut State Department of Education’s (CSDE) Meal Patterns for Grades K-12 in School Nutrition Programs and Crediting Foods in School Nutrition Programs webpages. For information on the meal patterns and crediting foods for preschoolers, visit the CSDE’s Meal Patterns for Preschoolers in School Nutrition Programs webpage. Legumes include cooked dry beans and peas, such as black beans, black-eyed peas (mature, dry), edamame (soybeans), garbanzo beans (chickpeas), kidney beans, lentils, navy beans, soybeans, split peas, and white beans. Legumes may credit as either the meat/meat alternates component or the vegetables component, but one serving cannot credit as both components in the same meal or snack. Menu planners must determine in advance how to credit legumes in a meal. A ¼-cup serving of legumes credits as 1 ounce of the meat/meat alternates component or ¼ cup of the vegetables component. Legumes may credit as either component in different meals. For example, lentils may credit as the vegetables component at one lunch, and as the meat/meat alternates component at another lunch. If the meal includes two servings of legumes, the menu planner may choose to credit one serving as the vegetables component and one serving as the meat/meat alternates component.

This section discusses leaf tissue is not formed quickly. various seed and plant parts, explains how the soybean plant develops utilizing standardized vegetative and reproductive stage descriptions which are used by the National Crop Insurance Services (NCIS), and describes some of the important factors which affect growth and development of the soybean plant. A soybean seed consists of a miniature plant attached to two nutrient storage reservoirs (cotyledons or seed halves) surrounded by a protective outer wrapper or seed coat called a testa (Figure 1). The cotyledons contain about 40% protein, 20% oil, and about 35% carbohydrate. These materials provide nutrients to the developing embryo during the germination process.
