This is the question I have been asking. What plant really wants to have a bad day!?!? I think the “ding them” mentality has come from our over population in beam stands. Yup, and the OP never asked how to increase yield, he asked how to increase lower pod count. I never implied "Dinging" would increase yield, BUT, lowering population and "Dinging" will cause a plant to bush out with more pods on less nodes. The mentality of "Dinging" was to make a 3 ft plant with more pods on less nodes, instead of an undung (sic) 6ft plant with less pods on more nodes and prone to lodging and wrapping on the beanhead. |
How to get more pods per node in soybeans????
