Methodology
One strip of Pioneer P16A49X was planted at 100K and 145K seeds/acre on May 19.
Results
Decreasing the seeding rate from 145K to 100K increased soybean yield by 3.43 bu/ac. However, since there was only one replication, no statistical analysis could be performed to test for differences between treatments. Further research is needed to determine if yield was significantly different.
