Beans Per Ft.-Lb. Per Acre

A28571

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 11 beans per ft. on 965 mm (38 in.) rows. Your soybean seed is determined to be about 2600 seeds per lb. (medium size).

Checking the chart, under 965 mm (38 in.) rows and medium size soybeans, 11 beans per ft. will require a rate of approximately 58 lb. per acre.

Refer to SOYBEAN FEED CUP (EDIBLE BEANS)-HIGH RANGE chart. For 965 mm (38 in.) rows, a 16-tooth driver and 25-tooth driven sprocket will give you approximately 58 lb. per acre.

The rates in the chart are based on a uniform seed size sample of approximately 2600 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).
