Conteúdo: 	A primary factor in producing quality soybean seed for planting in anyarea is a well-adapted variety. At Stoneville, Mississippi (latitude  33 20'), varieties maturing in october or early november produce seed of better quality than varieties that mature earlier. An adapted variety planted in midmay or early june will produce better-quality seed than the same variety planted in april. Similar results have been obtained under irrigation at 26 to 28 latitude in western Mexico. Another factor in producing quality seed is to provide adequate moisture so the varieties will mature fully. Small seed types appear to produce betterquality seed under low moisture conditions than large ones. If the seed is harvested by machine, care must be taken in adjusting the combineto avoid damage to low-moisture seed. If the non-growing season is relatively warm and if the humidity is high, special storage conditions must be provided to maintain the seed at a moisture content of less than 13 percent.
