Flambeau
90 to 120 days, indeterminate — 'Flambeau' seeds are small to medium-sized, greenish-yellow in color with black eyes (hilums). According to the USDA, they contain 44% protein and 19% oil, on average.
Originally from the USSR, it was introduced in 1934 and named in 1944.[1] The USDA genebank accession number is PI 548325. Each packet contains 25 to 30 seeds.
Planting Instructions:
Soybeans are a tender plant and should be sown after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Planting them at about the same time as corn is a good rule.
Sow seeds about one inch deep, three to four inches apart. Although you can plant in rows, they can be planted densely and allowed to form a canopy. This will help control weed growth. Soybeans are tolerant of drought and poor soil since they fix nitrogen. They will, however, benefit from fertile soil.
Soybean flowers are perfect (self-fertile) and cross pollination is almost non-existent, making saving seed easy. Allow pods to fully develop and dry on the plants.
