The purpose of this study is to examine how planting depth impacts plant population, emergence, and yield.

Planting depth has been studied for many years; however, what considerations need to be taken when deciding at what depth to plant is often forgotten about. As the ground freezes and thaws throughout the winter, it is essential that the growing point remains below the soil surface. The Kentucky PFR site experienced a rat her mild winter, which is why the 1 in. planting depth may have beat last year’s winner of 2 in.
