To evaluate different populations in a double crop system to determine the Economic Optimum Seeding Rate (EOSR).

2016 Kentucky Soybean Double Crop Population Study - 15 in. Rows

The challenge with double crop soybeans is establishing enough vegetative growth and plant height to maximize nodal development during the shortened season.

The amount and frequency of precipitation and resulting
plant-available water impact vegetative development. We can influence soybean plant height by increasing the seeding population.

As population increases, in-row plant-to-plant spacing decreases. This generates more competition between plants for sunlight, resulting in taller plants, potential for increased nodes, and higher pod count.
