The Soybean Botany, Production and Uses
Soybean (Glycine max(L.) Merrill), with its countless and varied uses, is an important crop at the global level. Its seeds are rich in oil (approximately 20%) and protein (approximately 40%). In 2007, the global area, production and productivity of soybean were 90.1 million ha, 220.5 million t...

| description |
Soybean (Glycine max(L.) Merrill), with its countless and varied uses, is an important crop
at the global level. Its seeds are rich in oil (approximately 20%) and protein (approximately
40%). In 2007, the global area, production and productivity of soybean were 90.1 million ha,
220.5 million t and 2.44 t ha
–1
, respectively. The USA, Brazil, Argentina, China and India are
the major soybean-producing countries.
Soybean is grown in various sequential and inter/mixed cropping systems. Many biotic
and abiotic stresses limit soybean production in different parts of the world. Much research
has been carried out worldwide on breeding, production, protection, processing and utilization aspects of soybean. Vast information on all of these aspects is available in different journals, research reports, magazines and leaflets. There has been, however, a dire need to compile
this scattered information in one place in the form of a book.
A humble request was made to experts in their fields to contribute chapters to this
book. This book consequently contains 20 chapters written by eminent researchers from
different countries including Australia, Canada, China, India, Nigeria, South Africa, Taiwan and the USA. With the combined wisdom of so many reputable scientists from different parts of the world, I hope this book will achieve the status of the world soybean
reference book.
The book has been divided into six sections. The first section on ‘History and Importance’
includes two chapters: the fi rst on the origin and history of soybean and the second on the role
of soybean in agriculture. The second section on ‘Botany, Genetics and Physiology’ includes
four chapters on soybean growth and development, soybean genetic resources, varietal
improvement in soybean and soybean yield physiology. The ‘Production’ section, third in the
series, includes six chapters on agro-techniques for soybean production, nutrient management, water management, weed management, biological nitrogen fixation and storage of soybean. Three chapters relating to diseases, insect pests and nematodes are included in a
‘Protection’ section. The section on ‘Utilization’ includes four chapters on soybean processing
and utilization, the nutritional value of soybean, uses of soybean and vegetable soybean. The
last section on ‘Marketing and Trade’ includes a fi nal chapter on global soybean marketing
and trade. The chapters, therefore, address advanced and diverse topics covering almost all
aspects of soybean. Each chapter has a good number of references at the end to enable the
interested reader to go to the original source. |
