This study aims to explore the impact of different weather factors, years, and latitudes on soil temperature, as well as whether soil temperature affects crop growth. We found that air temperature is closely related to soil temperature, and the differences between years are also linked to air temperature, which can be traced back to the influence of various meteorological factors. Regions with similar latitudes tend to have comparable soil temperature changes, which are associated with local climate and soil properties. Furthermore, the experiment revealed that soil temperature has a significant effect on the growth of mung beans, and controlling the temperature can stabilize plant growth.
