R. 0.1 Breinigsville, PA Tele: (215) 285-4616 ‘Plants per acre’ BLOOMINGTON, 111. - How would you like to boost your soybean yields by five per cent just by changing your thinking about planting rates from pounds per acre to plants per acre’ That’s the average in crease Dr. Charles Laible, manager of soybean research for Funk Seeds International, feels most growers would realize by using this more precise planting method. In many cases, it could mean sub stantial yield differences because soybean seed size often varies greatly. A common belief among farmers is that the soybean is a versatile plant with the ability to compensate for most planting errors. Laible disagrees: “The problem is that this compensating ability takes the form of branching out at the bot tom.” PRIVATE SALE 50 HEAD HIGH GRADE HOLSTEIN COWS We have picked 50 head from a herd of 142 cows, our pick.

Probst 464-3190 for soybean fields Being on the high side of the optimum population can result m lodging, which means a grower will be forced to leave more beans in the field at harvest. In addition, high populations mean greater stress on the plants and reduced overall performance and yield, Laible explains. He says low populations with too much space bet ween plants allow the soybeans to branch out. These low branches cause harvest problems. And there may be greater exposure to mold and pod rot from soil splashing onto the lower pods. Laible urges soybean growers to calibrate their planters or drills to establish a specific plant population, mstead of planting the usual pounds per acre. What rates are best? Laible recommends 175,000 At 10:00 A.M. Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 17,1979 plants per acre for standard varieties m standard rows. That would be about 10 seeds per foot in 30-inch rows. For the newly developed, shorter varieties in narrow rows of 10 inches and less, he recommends 215,000 plants per acre. That’s about four seeds per foot for 10-inch rows, and three seeds per foot for 7-inch rows. Allowance should also be made for the percentage of non-germmating seeds when calculating the number of seeds per foot of row, Laible says. He adds that a grower’s particular growing conditions and yield ex pectations must also be taken into account when deciding plant population. Planting by plants per acre won’t do any good if a grower is careless about other planting accuracy practices, Laible cautions. So, he gives the following tips to help achieve better soybean stands and sub sequent yields: Plant early. Soybeans shouldn’t be treated like a second sister to com. Studies at Ohio State University have shown that soybeans respond to early planting with a similar percentage increase in yield as com.

Alan Abe Jr. Abe Diffenbach, Auctioneers urged soybeans a chance at bigger yields by planting earlier. Many of the newly developed varieties are bred for higher vigor, allowing earlier planting. It is best to ask the seed supplier about vigor, however, before moving the planting too far into the cool, wet weather of early Spring. Tighten upthose rows. The arguments for narrow rows and solid seeding get stronger each year. One is the better weed control that is possible today. Another is the availability of new varieties specially bred for narrow-row and solid seeding culture. And, more equipment is now available for planting narrow rows, including new drills specifically designed for uniform seeding of soybeans. Making the switch to narrower rows has paid off well for many growers. Prepare the seedbed adequately. Having a smooth, mellow seedbed is especially important if soybeans are planted with a conventional drill that is not heavy enough to assure uniform planting depth. Large clods m the seedbed can make the drill runners bounce up and down. One way to avoid this is to pull a (Turn to Page 160) JOHN K. STOLTZfUS OWNER 159
