Statement of Problem |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are concerned if we are using the correct seeding rates for dryland,
no till soybeans in Central Kansas. |

Project Objectives |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a continuation of the work we did in 2004 -- merely adding
"site years" to our data base. |

|
Methodology |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We will seed at Base rate, Base rate + 25%, Base rate + 50% and Base
rate - 25% on several passes when planting in the spring of 2005.
(Base Rate = 140,000.) All other cultural practices are to remain the
same. After harvesting with a yield monitor and AutoTrac equipped
combine, we will select harvest strips with differing seeding rates
for analysis. Further analysis will be done based on KSU researcher's
suggestions. Planting with Air Seeder. |

Expected outcome / Benefit to KARA |
|
|
|
|
|
|
To demonstrate a simple method of doing on Farm research with tools
already available to Precision Ag practitioners. |
