Jiangsu is one of the main soybean planting areas in China, and there are many varieties of soybeans. Among them, Shengdou No.5 is a soybean variety bred by Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences and suitable for planting in Jiangsu. Compared with soybean 5, Shengdou 5 is different in growth period and yield.

Shengdou No.5 has a short growth period, generally it can mature within 95- 100 days, while the growth period of soybean No.5 is generally around 100- 120 days. In addition, the yield of Shengdou No.5 is relatively high, generally reaching 375-450 kg/mu, while that of Soybean No.5 is generally around 300-350 kg/mu.

In addition, their morphological characteristics are also different. The seeds of Shengdou No.5 are bigger, and the seeds of Soybean No.5 are smaller. But their nutritional value is basically the same, and they are all high-quality plant protein sources, rich in dietary fiber and multivitamins.

To sum up, Shengdou No.5 and Soybean No.5 are both soybean varieties, but there are some differences in growth period, yield and morphology. When planting, we should choose suitable varieties according to local climate and soil conditions.
