The problem with planting the lower population if you get any kinda rain during emergence you lose stand. So yea if you get a 100,000 CONSISTENT plants I believe you can make great beans. But planting 125,000 or so shooting for 100,000 lose a little bit coming up you get an inconsistent 75-80k. That won't yield the best. You might get a good crop but you lost yield.
We drilled 175K in 15" rows this year, min till and no till. Probably have a 80-90K pop and short as heck. |
