A feature on Friday Soil Moisture Key To Seed Germination GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. Adequate soil moisture is vital to achieving maximum germination in com Helds, said Win Johnson, Northrup King Co. senior agro nomist in the western U.S. Johnson said that seed with good vigor contains an ample supply of key sugars. When the seed absorbs water, it reacts with these sugars, immediately trigger ing germination. Experts believe seeds that are slow to germinate suffer from a shortage of these important sugars. A seed must absorb about SO percent of its weight in water to achieve good germination, the Northrup King agronomist said. When planting com on irrigated ground, soil moisture should be in MILK.

Soil moisture in the 10 percent to 12 percent range is typically too dry for germination. To determine if soil moisture is adequate. Johnson suggests grow ers squeeze a handful of soil. If the soil sticks together, moisture levels are probably about right for planting. If the soil is muddy, it’s probably too wet for planting. If it falls apart, it is too dry to germi nate seed satisfactorily. Many growers plant by the calendar. Johnson advises growers to plant as early as possible and suggests that conditions are best when the soil temperature is 55 degrees Fahrenheit at four inches deep at 8 a.m. Ideal seeding depth also depends on soil conditions, he says. In cold, moist soils, planting shallow at one to one-and-one half inches is generally sufficient. However, even in drier soils, two to two-and-one-half inches is con sidered maximum depth. Johnson explains that when planted deeper, the seed may not be able to push the coleoplile out of the ground. the 3220, 3230. 4210. 4230 and 4240, rated at 42, 52, 62, 72 and 8S FIX) horsepower, respectively.
