Economic value, characteristics and production technology of soybean

Abstract

Soybean has been the most important source of vegetable protein and oil since the 1970s and the acreage in this crop has been increasing continually year after year. Thanks to favorable growing conditions and the superior performance of high-yielding domestic varieties, soybean is the most important industrial crop in Serbia as well. Using the right growing technology that has been based on long-term studies and has proven its worth in actual commercial production, it is possible to achieve record yields of this crop.

Od sredine sedamdesetih godina prošlog veka soja je najvažniji izvor biljnih proteina i ulja u svetu, a površine pod ovom biljnom vrstom rastu iz godine u godinu. Zahvaljujući povoljnim agroekološkim uslovima za proizvodnju, kao i visokoprinosnim domaćim sortama, soja je i u našoj zemlji najvažnija industrijska biljka. Uz pravilnu tehnologiju proizvodnje, preporučenu na osnovu dugogodišnjih istraživanja i provera u praksi, moguće je postići i rekordne prinose.
