C6—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 4,1984 DOVER, Del. Now is a good time for farmers to send soybean samples to the state department of agriculture seed laboratory in dover for germination tests. "When I talked recently with the lab’s Dick Goerger, he told me the tests he’s run so far this year in dicate there are some low ger minating soybean lots out there,’’ reports University of Delaware extension agent Derby Walker. "To avoid getting caught short on the number of beans you have at planting, have them tested now to determine whether you’ll need to buy anew lot.” Sometimes low germination can be attributed to a surface pathogen, in which case a $ It’s time to check seed beans fungicide seed treatment will correct the problem, Walker says. “If the soybeans don’t germinate at a satisfactoi y level the first time, another sample is treated with fungicide and they’re tested again to see whether this treat ment raises the percent of ger mination. If beans have to be tested twice, it takes much longer to get the report back.” To avoid having to hunt for more soybeans in the spring, the agent advises farmers to send their smaples to the lab now. It could save both time and money. Collect beans from several spots m the load, he advises. “A sample taken from only one spot may not be representative of the whole Compare the Stoltzfus Woodwork Calf Hutch I ifting Hook for easy handling Reai-Veit , Option u /Option > Sturdy 2x4 construction Treated skids exterior P ‘ yWOOd k\ SO TRACK FOR FASTENING CALVES' chain to ceiling of hutch Berks County: Maryland: jqe RUTH LEROY HILDEBRAN r D «4133 Fleetwood, Pa 19522 Woodsboro.

There’s no need to clean the beans first, because they will be cleaned at the lab. Place each sample in an unbreakable con tainer and label it with your name, address and the variety of bean! "If you have more than one bin or lot of soybeans, include the lot number too.” Walker suggests.
