Soybean Seed Production: Best Practices and Quality Control

Producing high-quality soybean seeds requires careful management of mechanical stress, seed coat integrity, and disease control. This video from the Legume Hub and Legumes Translated explains best practices for variety and site selection, sowing, threshing, and quality assessment using the quick soaking test. It addresses the Diaporthe Phomopsis Complex, a major soybean pathogen, and covers seed preparation and legal requirements. Part of a European initiative promoting sustainable legume cultivation, the resource is supported by Soja-Forum e.V. and Landwirtschaftsamt Baden-Württemberg.
