Using variety testing data to select soybean varieties: Guidelines for practitioners

Soybean seed germinates after absorbing (imbibing) ∼50% of its weight in water. The radicle (root) develops first, followed by the hypocotyl. The hypocotyl pushes the cotyledons above the soil surface (picture from Broeske et al., 2017).
