With less costly soybean seed and the wide range of which soybean plant populations produce similar yields, soybean seeding rates have not historically been as closely calculated as those for corn.

High soybean yields are possible with a wide range of plant populations because single plants of most varieties will utilize a 7- to 9-inch area in all directions around the main stem. Plants adjust ...

Corn planting populations. It’s a balancing act. The secret is knowing which factors impact corn populations - including seed variety, seed quality, weather and soil conditions — and how to ...
