Soybean
Soybean Growth StagesVegetative Stages Reproductive Stages
VE – emergence R1 – beginning bloom
VC – cotyledon (unrolled unifoliolate leaves)
R2 – full bloom
V1 – first trifoliolate* R3 – beginning pod
V2 – second trifoliolate R4 – full pod
V3 – third trifoliolate R5 – beginning seed
V(n) – nth trifoliolate R6 – full seed
R7 – beginning maturity
R8 – full maturity
When staging a soybean field , each specific V or R stage is defined only when 50% or more of the plants in the field are in or beyond that stage.
* A fully developed trifoliolate leaf node has unrolled leaflets.

VE (Emergence) = Cotyledons above the soil surface.
VE
VC
V1
• Soybean seed begins germination by absorbing ~50% of its weight in water.
•Although soybean can germinate at minimum temperature of 50°F (or less), field emergence is more rapid (~7 days) and uniform if soil temperature is above 65°F.
V2V2 = Two fully developed trifoliolate leaf nodes

• Rhizobia bacteria have infected roots and nodules become visible shortly after VE.
• N-fixation begins at V2 to V3 stages.
•Lateral roots are growing rapidly into the top 6 inches of soil.•Lateral roots are growing rapidly into the top 6 inches of soil.

R1 – Beginning BloomR1 = One open flower at any node on the main stem.
Indeterminate varieties:At R1, plants are in the V7 to V10 stage. Flowering begins on the third to sixth node (depending on V stage at flowering) and progresses upward and downward.
Vegetative growth continues after flowering begins. At R1, less than half of the nodes on the main stem have developed and plants have achieved less than half their final height.
Flowers are purple or white (variety)
Open Flower
R1 – Beginning BloomR1 = One open flower at any node on the main stem.
Determinate varieties:Vegetative growth is complete before flowering begins. Most or all of the nodes on the main stem have developed and plants grow very little in height after R1.
Flowering occurs at the same time in the top and bottom of the plant. R1 and R2 may occur simultaneously.
Flowers are purple or white (variety)
Open Flower
R2 – Full BloomR2 = Open flower at one of the two uppermost nodes on the main stem with a
fully developed trifoliolate leaf node.
The rapiddry weight accumulation initially starts in the vegetative plant parts but then gradually shifts to the pods and seeds between R3 and R6.
50% defoliation at R2 reduces yield about 6 percent.
R2 marks the beginning of a period of rapid and constant (linear) dry weight accumulation by the whole plant which continues until shortly after the R6 stage.

R4 – Full PodR4 = Pod is 2 cm (¾ inches) long at one of the four uppermost nodes on the main
stem with a fully developed trifoliolate leaf node.
R4 is start of the most critical period for yield determination.
From R4 through R6, stress (moisture, light, nutrients, frost, lodging, defoliation) reduces yield more than any other period.
Yield reductions at R4 result mainly from fewer pods per plant.
Stress can cause pods to abort.
Period of rapid dry weight accumulation by the pods (R4 to middle of R5).

R4 – Full Pod
R4 is start of the most critical period for yield determination.
From R4 through R6, stress (moisture, light, nutrients, frost, lodging, defoliation) reduces yield more than any other period.
Yield reductions at R4 result mainly from fewer pods per plant.
Stress can cause pods to abort.
Period of rapid dry weight accumulation by the pods (R4 to middle of R5).
R6 – Full Seed
Dry weight accumulation still rapid in seeds, but begins to slow shortly after R6.
R6 = Pod containing a green seed that fills the pod cavity at one of the four uppermost nodes on the main stem with a fully developed trifoliolate leaf node.

Components of Soybean Yield
• Soybean yield is determined by 3 major components.– Number of pods per plant.– Number of seeds per pod.– Weight per seed (seed size).
University of Kentucky
Soybean: High Yields
University of KentuckyChad Lee © 2007 19
Keys to High Yields
1. Good genetics
2. Maximize days suitable for growing
3. 90 to 95% light interception at flowering (R1) through beginning seed (R5)
4. Adequate nutrients
5. Adequate, timely water and air
University of KentuckyChad Lee © 2007 20
HABITS1. Select fields to plant to soybean2. Rotate crops3. Tillage (minimal): deep ripping, if necessary; no-till
where possible4. Select high-yielding varieties5. Fertilize to soil test and inoculation (if needed)6. Timely planting (full season)7. Narrow rows (15 inches or less)8. Lower seeding rates (100,000 final stand)9. Effective, timely pest control10. Monitor stands
University of KentuckyChad Lee © 2007
Soybean: Crop Rotation
• Continuous soybean: about 5 to 10% lower yields than soybean following corn
