In this episode of the Indiana Pioneer Agronomy podcast, hosts Brian Shrader and Ben Jacob discuss soybean seeding rates, variable seeding rates, planting dates and more as growers get ready to plant their 2024 crop. The number of seeds to plant per acre is a decision that crop producers must make each year and is important for maximizing yield potential of the crop. In general, the objective is to plant seeds at sufficient density to maximize light capture and yield potential but avoid planting more seeds than necessary, which would incur additional seed cost and could potentially have a detrimental effect on the crop due to increased competition among the plants for resources.
