Sowing date significantly affects plant growth, development, and yield, holding a crucial role in soybean cultivation. This study was conducted in the southern coastal region of Korea under recent climate change conditions to investigate the effects of five different sowing dates on climatic characteristics, growth, and yield. Compared to historical data, the southern coastal region has experienced a consistent increase in average temperature during the soybean cultivation period, along with frequent abnormal summer climate events such as concentrated heavy rainfall and monsoons. These climate changes prolonged the vegetative growth period in earlier sowings, leading to an increased risk of lodging at maturity due to vigorous vegetative growth. Furthermore, earlier sowing delayed flowering and exposed plants to longer post-flowering photoperiods, consequently reducing the number of pods. Therefore, in the southern coastal region of Korea, it is crucial to re-evaluate conventional sowing practices and establish region-specific optimal dates, with careful consideration given to postponing the soybean sowing date to late June in order to enhance yield stability and improve the feasibility of double-cropping systems by shortening the growing period.
