The impact of planting dates on the performance of soybean varieties [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in the Nigerian Savannas

Increasing delays in the onset of the rainy season and extended dry spells in the Nigerian savannas are complicating the determination of optimal planting dates for rain-fed crops, which increases risks for farmers. This study evaluated the impact of planting dates on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr....

description Increasing delays in the onset of the rainy season and extended dry spells in the Nigerian savannas are complicating the determination of optimal planting dates for rain-fed crops, which increases risks for farmers. This study evaluated the impact of planting dates on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] performance to identify optimal planting dates for different soybean varieties in two agroecological zones (AEZs) of Nigeria. The study involved six planting dates (15 June, 22 June, 29 June, 6 July, 13 July, and 20 July) and three soybean varieties (TGX-1835-10E, TGX-1951-3F, TGX-1904-6F). Results showed significant differences in growth and yield parameters based on location, variety, and planting date. In the Sudan savanna (SS), AEZ at BUK-Kano, optimal yields (>1500 kg ha−1) were achieved when planting TGX-1835-10E and TGX-1951-3F from 15 to 29 June and TGX-1904-6F on 15 June. Planting beyond 29 June reduces yields by 12–55% for TGX-1835-10E and 27–63% for TGX-1951-3F. For TGX-1904-6F, planting after 15 June reduces yields by 27–90%. In the Northern Guinea savanna (NGS) AEZ at Zaria, optimal yields (>1500 kg ha−1) were obtained when planting TGX-1835-10E and TGX-1951-3F from 15 June to 6 July, and TGX-1904-6F between 15 to 29 June. Delaying planting beyond these dates significantly reduced yields by 18–31% for TGX-1835-10E and 12–20% for TGX-1951-3F and 10–41% for TGX-1904-6F.
