Soya, commonly known as soybean, is a warm-season annual crop that grows best in full sun with well-draining, fertile soil. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging, and provide support as plants develop pods. It benefits from nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil and is a rewarding addition to vegetable gardens.
