Soybean production in 2007

Abstract

Quality and timely application of technology relating to plant growing, agrometeorogical conditions greatly determine as well as soybean production. Looking back we can say that we had three favorable years for soybean production excluding 2007. Vegetation period of 2007 was characterized by three stress periods causing decrease in yield. Unfavorable conditions prevailed during sowing and emerging, and then during grain filling, and finally even during harvesting. This year was characterized by variation in yield among regions and among plots as well. Soybean yield ranged from below one hectare to up to four tons per hectare. Besides hydrometeorogical conditions soybean, yield was influenced by soil type, time of sowing, applied growing technology, and the maturity group of the variety in question.

Proizvodnju soje značajno određuju kako kvalitet i pravovremenost primenjene tehnologije gajenja, tako i agrometeorološki uslovi godine. Gledajući unazad, imali smo tri povoljne godine za proizvodnju soje, što se ne može reći za 2007. godinu. Vegetacioni period 2007. godine karakterišu tri stresna perioda koji su uticali na smanjenje prinosa. Nepovoljni uslovi vladali su tokom setve i nicanja, zatim tokom nalivanja zrna, i na kraju i tokom žetve. Ovu godinu karakteriše variranje prinosa po rejonima ali i po parcelama. Prinos soje bio je u rasponu od ispod jedne, pa do četiri tone po hektaru. Osim hidrometeoroloških uslova, na visinu prinosa uticali su tip zemljišta, vreme setve, primenjena tehnologija gajenja, kao i grupa zrenja gajene sorte.
