soy bean

The most important factor that makes soybean an important agricultural product in the world is the genetic improvement of existing genotypes in a continuous breeding cycle. Soybean seeds, which contain rich nutrients, are grown in many countries as they have an important place in nutrition and industry.

Since soybean is a legume plant, it meets the nitrogen it needs by binding the free nitrogen of the air to the soil, thanks to the Bradyrhizobium japonicum bacteria living in its roots. In this way, it not only leaves a nitrogen-rich environment for the plant to be planted after it, but also meets the nitrogen it needs. In this way, less nitrogen fertilizer is used.

For this reason, it is very important to put legumes, which play an important role in increasing the nitrogen content of the soil, in order to meet the nitrogen requirements of the plants, and to raise the awareness of our farmers on this issue. Soybean will be the right choice for alternating agriculture. On top of that, since some of the mineral nitrogen fertilizers used are removed from the soil by washing and some by denitrification, it is not possible for the plant to benefit from the fertilizers used optimally. As a result of the use of nitrogen fertilizers, the problems arising from the mixing of excess nitrogen fertilizers and nitrogenous wastes into the ground water and drinking water, together with the high increase in yield, are one of the biggest causes of environmental pollution.

Especially in case of excessive nitrate fertilization, nitrogen in the soil in the form of nitrate is taken by vegetables and reduced to nitrite form in vegetables and in humans, and it is converted into methemoglobin in the blood (it is one of the abnormal forms of the hemoglobin molecule, it is formed by the oxidation of iron from ferrous form (Fe2+) to ferric form (Fe3+).) thus preventing oxygen transport in the blood. It is known that nitrate, nitrite and some other compounds have carcinogenic effects by converting to nitro enzymes in the digestive systems of humans and animals.
