When getting ready for the upcoming seeding season, growers often ask our representatives what their seeding rate for the soybeans should be. Many factors influence the seeding rate, chiefly the soybean variety, expected yield, soil type, equipment used and history of disease. Here\u2019s a guide that will shed some light on those elements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the target population measured in seeds\/ha or seeds\/ac see the (Prograin Seed Guide<\/a>), first determine the seeding rate in kg\/ha or lb\/ac using the seed size indicated on the bag or the weight of the bags of seed. Either use the imperial or metric measurements, but don\u2019t mix them. Here\u2019s an example of calculation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s take a closer look at the factors that may affect the seeding rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
