Dr. Manni Singh - Optimize Planting Decisions in Soybean, Based on Date of Planting
1. Adjusting Management Practices to Account for
Variable Soybean Planting Time

3. Variable Planting Window
ØChanging climate (extreme weather events)
ØPoor field conditions for planting
ØNeed to adjust agronomic practices based on planting
time?

4. Planting Time
ØEarly Season
Conditions
• Cool, wet soil
• Extended growing season
ØMid Season
ØLate Season
• Typically adequate soil temperature
and moisture
• Lack of soil moisture
• Growing season is shortened

37. § Establish uniform plant stand (plants/area)
§ Set and retain more pods (pods/plant)
§ Increase number of seeds/pod
§ Maximize seed weight (seeds/kg)
What can be done to POSITIVELY influence
these yield components?
Soybean Yield Components
40. Ø Adjusting management practices to time of planting is a
viable way to improve soybean production.
Ø Early planting- Benefits of early-season planting can be
expanded upon with use of longer maturity group.
Ø Consequences of late-season planting can be mitigated
with increased planting population and selection of
shorter maturity group.
Ø The benefits of a seed treatment are specific to
environmental conditions.
