Yeah, about 9.1. If you can get the beans in early enough I suggest you try some at a low population. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I am gonna seed most of mine for 100k-120k. You will get healthier plants as they have a little more room to breath and more nutrients available to them. I think at a little lower population in 30" rows they can bush out a little quicker and grab that sunlight. Better stand-ability and the plant dies more evenly in the fall too. I believe at lower pop the plants concentrate more on pods than vegetative growth competing with neighboring plants for sunlight.
