Characterization of Soybean Growths, Yields and Crop Susceptibility under Drought Condition

Soybean is most widely cultivated upland crops in Korea. Due to global climate change, Korea experiences severe drought during soybean cultivation. In order to succeed cultivation of soybean under severe rainfall conditions, it is critical to understand effects of soil moisture contents to soybean. The objectives of this study were investigating growth properties of soybean under deficit soil moisture contents and quantification of water stress response.
