Natural-Farmed Soybeans Bloomed and Ripened Sooner
A short photo report from a 2016 soybean plot at Konkuk, grown side by side with natural farming and conventional farming. Conventional weeds were killed with herbicide at 50 days; the natural farming weeds were pulled by hand. The natural farming plot bloomed three days earlier (July 19 vs July 22) and was yellowing toward harvest at 90 days while the conventional plot was still green. No yield or other numbers were shown.
Found Natural farming plot bloomed July 19, conventional July 22
