Now that\nproducers are almost finished or done seeding their soybeans, it’s time to take\na look at the emergence success, or the number of plants that emerged in relation to seeds planted. Here are some tips to\nhelp you get an optimal yield!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It takes about 7 to 20 days after planting for soybean plants to emerge. This time varies depending on the soil temperature: the higher the temperature, the faster the germination, the lower the risk of germination problems. We are talking about 7 days if the soil is at 20 \u00b0C and 21 days if the soil is at 10 \u00b0C. Planting is later than normal this year, so rapid germination can be expected with warming soils. It should also be noted that not all soybean cultivars respond equally to different populations. The most important thing is to sow the recommended population of each variety!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Normally,\nproducers can plant between 375,000 and 500,000 seeds per hectare. If they\nachieve a plant stand of 250,000 to 450,000 plants per hectare (100,000 to\n180,000 plants per acre), they’re in good shape! So the target germination rate\nshould be at least 85 %.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And what if you\ndon’t get the stand establishment you desire? If you end up with less than\n250,000 emerged plants per hectare (100,000 plants per acre), it’s a good idea\nto replant if you have time. But it’s important to take a good look at things\nto understand why your seeds didn’t emerge as planned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
