It has been established that the deep layers of the soil (40-150 cm) more consistently reflect the influence of the plant component than the surface ones. In 2021, water reserves decreased in the 0-150 cm layer: for the Pentata variety - by 103 mm, and for the Onika variety- by 53 mm. Thus, Onika variety (MG I) retained 50 mm more water in the field for the next season compared to variety Pentata (MG III).enfield soybeansoil moisturedeep soil horizonsmaturity groupArticle
