In China, the traditional way of grouping soybeans was also early, medium and late, relative to a local area and even to the cropping system (Hao et al. 1992, Ren et al. 1987, Wang 1981). Gai et al. (2001) used the USA MG system to classify 256 Chinese soybean varieties into 12 MGs (MG 000–IX) by comparing their days from sowing to R8 (full maturity) with those of 48 MG checks introduced from North America. In addition, they found that the significant difference in flowering date was related to geographic locations and cropping systems in MG 0, I, II and III and divided each group into two subgroups according to the days to R1 (beginning bloom). Wu et al. (2012) defined the MGs of 19 varieties in the National Soybean Uniform Trials by comparing the days from VE (emergence) to R7 (first pod matured) with those of the 38 MG checks from North America. Jia et al. (2014) found that certain high-latitude cold region varieties matured much earlier than MG 000 based on the days from VE to R7. They proposed a new MG (MG 0000) for the varieties maturing much earlier than MG 000. It seemed that the early maturity group continued to increase as the soybean area expanded northward and new varieties developed. According to the trials at nine locations in Northeast China, Fu et al. (2016) proposed a MG grouping procedure (including the testing locations and grouping criteria) in Northeast China, using it the 361 northeast spring-planted soybean varieties were grouped into MG 000–III with their geographic distribution ascertained.
Pigs don't care if their soybean meal has a green color to it because the soybean meal was crushed from immature, frozen soybeans. That green colored soybean meal will have higher levels of protein.
We farm in what was considered at one time the Northern fringe of the US corn belt. We have evolved from growing 95 day corn and 1.5 soybeans being the very latest maturity we dared plant to 115 day corn and 2.5 soybeans being the very latest we dare plant...in my short lifetime
Times continue to chang.
