Methodology
METHODOLOGY:
Four strips were planted on May 15th and May 19th at 190,000 seeds/acre and 160,000 seeds/acre.
Results
RESULTS:
The increased seeding rate of 190 k yielded 3.5 bushels more on average, compared to the farmers normal 160 K seeding rate. The yield increase was significant at the 95% confidence interval in medium yielding soybeans.
