Planting conditions and with the rain," he said. "The fields will dry out and grow- ers will be back in the fields this week or next." As farmers head back out timing, seeding rates and depths, and an awareness of insects play major roles in the crop's yield potential. "This has been an odd year because some grow- ers were planting soybeans as early as March," Shaun Casteel said. "Generally, the optimal planting time would be between the last week of April through the first three weeks of May, depending on location." Although a cold spell in to resume planting, Casteel said soybeans should be planted between 1 and 1.5 inches deep, depending on field conditions. If the soil is dry, seeds should be planted closer to the 1.5-inch mark. In wet soils, they should be planted shallower. The seeding rate, he said, will depend on the type of planting equipment and how well it sets seeds. "Optimum plant popu- April and recent rains have delayed field operations a little, Casteel said growers don't need to worry. "There is plenty of time yet to plant soybeans dur- ing the optimal window, even ing into a clean seedbed. While most growers com- pleted burndown in a time- ly fashion, some fields might be in need of the postemer- gence application earlier than normal. Growers who opted for a residual burn- down treatment, however, will have a longer window before the first postemer- gence application. He also suggested plant- trol, Casteel said soybean growers need to keep a close eye on bean leaf beetle. At this point in the growing sea- son, early-emerged soybean plants are most at-risk. "If you do find bean leaf In addition to weed con- beetle, keep the tolerance thresholds in mind," he said. "Use an insecticide appli- cation if leaf defoliation is greater than 40 percent." MARCHINO SALES lation is about 100,000 to 120,000 plants per acre, which means we need to plant about 140,000 to 160,000 seeds (or about 125,000 to 145,000 viable seeds) in most instances," Casteel said. "If the equip- ment isn't as good, plant more." WHERE WILL YOU GO?
