The 1000-seed weight is a key indicator of soybean seed quality, used for calculating seeding rates and evaluating yield potential.

where this is mentioned in the description.
In soybeans, the 1000-seed weight varies significantly depending on the variety, mineral nutrition conditions, and moisture availability during the seed-filling stage. The indicator typically ranges from 120 to 200 grams, with values of approximately 180 grams being characteristic of some early-maturing varieties.
This parameter is critical for converting seeding rates from weight to quantity, which allows for achieving optimal plant population density. Seeds with a higher mass usually contain more stored nutrients, ensuring increased germination energy and the formation of a more developed root system during the initial growth stages.
