Martinsville, Ohio | <p>That sounds like plenty to me Beef.</p><p>"<strong><font size="2"> </font></strong></p><p>Should I change plant population and/or row spacing on late planted soybeans?<br /></p><p>Yes and yes! Late planted soybeans will tend to grow less. They will likely have fewer leaves, shorter internodes, and fewer pods. Increasing the plant population will help the soybean to grow taller and grow the bottom pods above the cutting height. It will also help soybean emergence on heavy or crusted soils. In Wisconsin, field experience suggests an increase of 1% in seeding rate for every day after May 20<sup>th</sup>. </p><p>Narrower row spacing and denser plant population will help to speed up full canopy closure, maximize sunlight interception and photosynthesis, and consequently increase yields. The later the planting, the larger seems to be the yield advantage towards narrower row spacing. It is reasonable to expect the 7.5 in row spacing to out yield a 30 in row spacing by 4 to 6% in white-mold-free environments." Wisconsin Crop Manager Newsletter</p>

Late season bean population?
