Soya Bean Seed Varieties/Innoculation & Planting/First Herbicides: Soya Bean Farming Basics: Part 2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มี.ค. 2023
- Our soya bean story for the 2022/23 season continues with Part 2, which begins after the land had been cleared and the fields eventually 'tractored'.
The next task was to choose which seed variety to procure for planting this season.
We then describe the importance of inoculating legume seeds with bradyryzobium bacteria before planting. We then share the steps we take to plant our soya beans seed manually, and then how we begin to protect the crop from weeds after planting with a pre-emergence selective herbicide.
The video concludes with the soya bean seeds having started to germinate in the various fields across the farm. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
i like the way you teach i feel each step you teach, i love farming, from uganda
Thanks.
Your soys beans plants are beautiful.Well done.
Indeed.
Very very helpful, I can't wait to know about your spray program.
Coming soon!
Thank you so much for the information. You really explained thing in a very informative way.
Glad it was helpful!
I so appreciate the manual side of starting in farming. It is very doable, tough but doable. One always imagines the tractors, combines etc, but these are very expensive so one must hopefully build up to it. Imagine the day you are in the position, where the farm affords you a tractor with a couple implements. the excitement. Anyway I digress, I love the idea of being able to employ folks from the area, I can imagine small communities, villages can spring up around a growing farm. I know you grow food for the folks you employ, like in earlier videos, maize is an obvious one, nshima a staple food, it makes sense if one can grow the food yourself as far as it is possible. Soy is an incredible crop (plant) though, I mean a lot more interesting than I thought before I started watching you videos.
We are really looking forward to the day when we get our first tractor and it's implements. Gonna be a real game changer.
Will also naturally mean that we will have to eventually re-evaluate our labour complement.
Every silver lining has a cloud, eh?
Man you're great
Thanks Ba Sichone.
Learning at the feet of a guru here mate! Great content! Thank you for helping us aspiring (right now mainly paper) farmers. I would love you more but you are an Arsenal fan (alas) :) Looking forward to the next instalment.
Great to hear!
Am really inspired thank you for the great work ur doing to educate the world about farming greetings from Abu Dhabi
Thanks Ba Emmanuel
Planted some soyabean last year, inoculant really works
Yebbo.
That's good and wish to a farmer also
All the best
Ajab khan khattak.Instead of using herbicide the manual uprooting of weeds through harrowing before they reach maturity & produce seeds is more beneficial.The uprooted weeds make the soil fertile after decay.Herbicides are injurious chemicals which adversely affect the soil.
Indeed.
but with time wont to much use of herbicides kill even the fauna of the area such as insects, bees.. Its about tge after effect of too much use of herbicides.
Am from Uganda, It was my first time to plant Soya, Still waiting for harvest. My worry is harvesting time and adding value to it? I think its worth it. Thanks for your knowledge you pass unto us.
Hi there. Yes, the use of pesticides is something that is an issue in modern farming.
Pls watch the other video in the series where we focused on protecting the crop and the different herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides we use. It's quite detailed.

All the best with your project.
Please kindly do fertilization of onion at the various growth stages as you did for soya beans.I will be very glad.
Indeed. We will consider that next time we grow onion. But to be honest with you, it might be a while.
We don't have any concrete plans to grow it again.
Two reasons:
Our onion crop last year produced a huge harvest, but wasn't profitable for us. We also found growing onion very labour and cost-intensive. So we have doubled down on our eggplant crops, which are easier to grow, can be produced all year round, and have a more stable price.
What of second Herbicide application. Which chemical should be used for the second weed control
We hope your questions were answered in this video...th-cam.com/video/ibr025aqAPA/w-d-xo.html
I have a question for you teacher: as a farmer, sometimes you do everything right before and during planting. The rain may also look right. The when plants germinate, you see some seeds have failed to germinate. Why does that happen?
Hi Chris. There could be a number of reasons.
One could be related to the quality of the seed, especially if recycling.
Another could be the depth at which the seed was planted, if it was too deep.
Sorry, it is difficult to give exact answers without knowing more.
Pls consult an Agronomist for closer advice.
So many lessons to take away from your contents. Well done. I would suggest you look to adopting a hand pushed planter for your planting operation. Its more efficient, require less seeds, less manual labor, ensures uniformity of seed spacing and at lower cost. Considering your scale and terrain, i would suggest you adopt same for your maize plots. With experienced hands, the outcome is better compared to tractor mounted planter in terms of cost and emergence.
Thanks for the suggestion. We already have a push planter as shown on several of our other videos. We normally use it for vegetable seed, and had never thought of using it for maize. We will try it out in future.
Take care.
The intro 😂😂😂, I thought you would continue with the accent
😀😃
Looks like the pre emergent selective herbicide didn't work very well,maybe try non selective pre emergent next time.
Thanks for the videos
Great suggestion!
Applying chemicals is quite a complex thing, with many factors affecting the efficacy of the compounds at a certain time. Some call it an art rather than a science.
We are constantly reviewing our failures and successes to make improvements.
Kkkkk nice accent...
