Kosodiguri Extra Early

90 days, determinate — The compact, eighteen to thirty inch tall plants with purple flowers and pods containing two to three beans each that are ready for edamame (pronounced "ed-uh-mah-may") at about 90 days.  The seeds are small, green in color with black eyes and are very high in protein (51% protein and 15% oil).

USDA accession number FC 30687, it was collected in Japan donated in 1939 by the McFayden Seed Company of Manitoba, Canada.  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.
