6.125 SOYA BEANS –
6.125 - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Soya beans are a type of plant called Leguminosae
which have the unique ability to use nitrogen that is in the air.
Microorganisms that live on the soya bean roots convert atmospheric nitrogen
into a type that the plant can use. The plant then feeds the microorganism.
When the plant decays, the nitrogen that has been pulled from the air is released
into the soil. You should
cut them and let the roots be in the soil. This is important.
Growing soya beans in a field can add about 15
to 20 kgs of nitrogen per acre into the soil.
Here are frequently asked questions about soya
beans:
1. Can I plant soya beans in
winter?
Soya beans can only germinate at temperatures
above 10 degrees celsius. Furthermore, your soya may not set flowers due to
shorter days. Soya needs sunlight to thrive.
2. When is the right time to
plant?
Mid to late December
3. What if I planted my beans
early?
You might have poor seedling establishment.
However, if you use varieties like Dina, you can plant in mid-Nov
because they need longer seasons as they keep flowering and growing. Dina gives
a higher yield than Kafue which flowers and stops growing. Also, Kafue
shatters earlier, so must be harvested earlier.
4. What if I planted my beans in
January?
You could have poor yield unless you supplement
with irrigation especially during flowering and pod-filling stage.
You might also like: Nitrogen fixing plants you
should be planting in your field.
5. How long do soya beans take to
mature?
It takes about 120 to 130 days
Why didn’t my soya beans germinate?
You could have used expired seeds or you planted
too deep.
6. What can grow on the same land
as soya?
Crops such as maize and wheat that are not
nematode susceptible.
7. What type of fertiliser and
how much can I use?
For low fertile soil, add Organic Fertilizer to
350-400kg/ha and 100-300kg/ha for medium fertile soil.
8. When does flowering start?
Between day 55 and day 75
I have too many weeds in my field. Can I leave
them? Pull them out and let them lay.
Weeds can compete with your plants for
nutrients, moisture and light which in turn reduces yield.
9. How will I know if my beans
are ready?
Leaves start dropping, seeds become firm and the
pods change colour.
How much soya beans can I plant per hecta?
You can plant about 90-100 kg per ha.
10. How much can I get per
hectare?
You can harvest about 3.000 - 5.000 kg. It
depends on irrigation and manure.

6.125 MAHARAGE YA
SOYA – 6.125 - MASWALI YANAYOULIZWA MARA KWA MARA
Maharage ya soya
ni aina ya mmea uitwao Leguminosae ambao una uwezo wa kipekee wa kutumia
nitrojeni iliyo hewani. Viumbe vidogo vinavyoishi kwenye mizizi ya soya
hubadilisha nitrojeni ya anga kuwa aina ambayo mmea unaweza kutumia. Kisha mmea
hulisha microorganism. Wakati mmea huoza, nitrojeni ambayo imevutwa kutoka
hewani hutolewa kwenye udongo. Unapaswa kukata na kuruhusu mizizi iwe kwenye
udongo. Hii ni muhimu.
Kupanda maharagwe
ya soya shambani kunaweza kuongeza takriban kilo 15 hadi 20 za nitrojeni kwa
ekari kwenye udongo.
Hapa kuna maswali
yanayoulizwa mara kwa mara kuhusu maharagwe ya soya:
1. Je, ninaweza
kupanda maharagwe ya soya wakati wa baridi?
Maharage ya soya
yanaweza tu kuota kwenye joto lililo juu ya nyuzi joto 10 Celsius. Zaidi ya
hayo, soya yako inaweza isiweke maua kwa sababu ya siku
fupi. Soya inahitaji mwanga wa jua ili kustawi.
2. Ni wakati
gani sahihi wa kupanda?
Kati hadi
mwishoni mwa Desemba
3. Je, iwapo
nilipanda maharage yangu mapema?
Unaweza kuwa na
uanzishwaji duni wa miche. Walakini, ikiwa unatumia aina kama Dina, unaweza
kupanda katikati ya Novemba kwa sababu zinahitaji misimu mirefu zaidi huku
zikiendelea kutoa maua na kukua. Dina inatoa mavuno mengi kuliko Kafue ambayo
hupanda maua na kuacha kukua. Pia, Kafue husambaratika mapema, kwa hivyo lazima
ivunwe mapema.
4. Je!
nikipanda maharagwe yangu Januari?
Unaweza kuwa na
mavuno duni isipokuwa ukiongeza kwa umwagiliaji hasa wakati wa maua na hatua ya
kujaza maganda.
Unaweza pia
kupenda: Mimea ya kurekebisha nitrojeni ambayo unapaswa kuwa unapanda katika
shamba lako.
5. Maharage ya
soya huchukua muda gani kukomaa?
Inachukua kama
siku 120 hadi 130
Kwa nini
maharagwe yangu ya soya hayakua?
Unaweza kuwa
umetumia mbegu zilizokwisha muda wake au ukapanda kwa kina kirefu.
6. Ni nini
kinachoweza kukua kwenye ardhi sawa na soya?
Mazao kama
mahindi na ngano ambayo hayashambuliwi na nematode.
7. Ni aina gani
ya mbolea na ninaweza kutumia kiasi gani?
Kwa udongo usio
na rutuba, ongeza Mbolea Hai hadi 350-400kg/ha na 100-300kg/ha kwa udongo wenye
rutuba ya wastani.
8. Maua huanza
lini?
Kati ya siku 55
na 75
Nina magugu
mengi sana shambani mwangu. Je, ninaweza kuwaacha? Wavute na waache walale.
Magugu yanaweza
kushindana na mimea yako kwa ajili ya virutubisho, unyevunyevu na mwanga ambayo
nayo hupunguza mavuno.
9. Nitajuaje
kama maharagwe yangu yapo tayari?
Majani huanza
kudondoka, mbegu huwa imara na maganda hubadilika rangi.
Je, ninaweza
kupanda maharage ya soya kiasi gani kwa hekta?
Unaweza kupanda
kilo 90-100 kwa hekta.
10. Ninaweza
kupata kiasi gani kwa hekta moja?
