Methodology
Methodology:
Three strips were planted to an average of 180,000 seeds/acre and compared to an increased seeding rate of 200,000 seeds/acre.
Results
Results:
The 180,000 seeds/acre rate yielded 4.80 bu/ac better than the 200,000 seeds/acre rate in high yielding soybeans (>55 bu/ac), but the increase was not significant at the 95% confidence interval (CI). The results shows the farmer may benefit from the reduced seeding rate.
