The Relation Between Precipitation, Temperature, and the Yield of Soybeans on the Agronomy South Farm, Urbana, Illinois
1960
Runge, E. C. A. | Odell, R. T.
SynopsisPrecipitation and maximum daily temperatures from June 25 through September 20 explained 68% of the variation in soybean yields from 1909 through 1957. Above-normal precipitation during July (period of major vegetative growth) and from mid-August to mid-September (grain filling period) increased soybean yields, but abundant rainfall during other periods decreased yields. Maximum temperatures during July and August are too high for optimum soybean yields.
