Abstract

In many places in Hungary, early maturity soybean can be successfully grown. The earlier maturity group of soy which ripened in 110–125 days in most crop areas in Hungary. However, to achieve excellent results, the selection of proper varieties is important too. Successful cultivation is largely dependent on the macro and microclimate of the production area, the nutrient supply of the soil and the cultivation technology. Soybean can be produced in places where the amount of precipitation is right, as the lack of water results in lower yields and deteriorated oil and protein concentrations. In the following study, 2 years (2016 and 2017) are compared to the yield, protein and oil content of the soybeans of the early maturation group in irrigated and non-irrigated treatments. Based on our experiment, it can be stated that, during the irrigation of soybean, oil and protein content and yields did not always change.

Summary

Introduction

Soy is a knowledge-intensive culture whose successful production requires modern professional knowledge and up-to-date information. Because of the rapidly changing climatic conditions it is difficult to produce good average yield in Hungary. In the absence of this, the expected yield may be missed. Another problem may be the wrongly selected weed control technology, which may cause some types of soy to be burned or, in the worst case, exterminated. The development of plants may slow down, the use of chemicals is not recommended for soy production. It is advisable to check the amount of precipitation before and after sowing, because it is difficult to germination in dry soil. Soil temperature is a very important factor. Ideal soil temperature is 8–16 °C (Balikó, 2018)
