Soybeans are faced with many establishment challenges in the spring. The last couple of growing seasons highlight many of those challenges with late plantings, soil crusting, moisture stress, and reduced stands. The following research aims to find yield trends between planting dates and populations that will aid producers in making decisions about replanting when a reduced stand is realized. Soybeans are known to compensate for lost population by putting out more branches and achieving potentially a higher yield per plant. However, more work is needed to compare the factors of planting date and population to gain a better idea of whether an early planted crop with reduced stand will...
