Small Soybeans-Beans per FT.-LB. Per acre

A32855

To determine the approximate lb. per acre for a given number of beans per ft., refer to the chart.

Example:

Suppose you wish to plant an average of approximately 10 beans per ft. on 483 mm (19 in.) rows. Your soybean seed is determined to be about 4200 seeds per lb.

Checking the chart under 483 mm (19 in.) rows, 10 beans per ft. will require a rate of approximately 66 lb. per acre.

Refer to the SMALL SOYBEANS-HIGH RANGE chart. For 483 mm (19 in.) rows, a 20-tooth driven and 28-tooth driven sprocket will give you approximately 66 lb. per acre.

Remember that the rates in the chart are based on a uniform seed size sample of approximately 4200 seeds per lb. and should only be used as a starting point for determining the actual planting rate.

The actual rate MUST be checked in the field at the desired planting speed. (See CHECKING SEED POPULATION section.)
