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.
JD drill into untouched corn stalks on our "clays" you don't want too drill less than 220k+ because of above reasons and even some soy specialists say increase pops for more yield.........now bare,clean sandy loam with a good vacuum planter I am sure 100k acre is good..........just like PP mods,planter/drill real yield maker/breaker is weather |
