Abstract
Sharp increases in soya bean prices, and restrictions on US exports, have stimulated interest in the possibility of growing this crop in NW Europe. The principal limitations are temperature–-especially at night–-and daylength. One variety has often yielded well, experimentally, in Southern England, but in general yields are at present too uncertain and the lowest pods too near the ground. Development of better-adapted varieties would call for substantially increased research effort.Keywords
