About Soybean
A highly productive, protein-rich summer and Kharif crop. For terrace containers, it is excellent for harvesting fresh 'edamame' (green pods) or dry beans. Dwarf, determinate, and Yellow Mosaic Virus (YMV) resistant varieties are essential to ensure the plant stays compact and yields reliably in bags.
