Soya bean cultivation in the Markham and Ramu Valleys

Abstract

Soyabeans are a high protein food source and are being grown in increasing quantities in many countries of the world. Experimental work on this crop in Papua New Guinea began in 1973 at the Agriculture Research Centre, Bubia and has led to a series of recommendations for growing soyabeans in this country. This article gives the latest set of recommendations based on the results of trials carried out in 1978.
