Where soybean planting has been delayed (or in double-crop soybean systems), producers should consider a few key management practices. Planting soybeans in the right soil conditions is essential for establishing an adequate soybean canopy and improving the chances of increasing the yield potential.
According to the University of Minnesota, farmers are faced with the decision of whether or not to plant some of their crop or take prevent plant, plant their planned crop late, or switch to a different crop. There are many factors to consider when making these decisions and each farmer will need to evaluate what options fit best with their operation and situation.
With July 1st just around the corner, Mark Sulc, OSU Extension Forage Agronomist, and Bill Weiss, OSU Extension Dairy Nutritionist, help address this year's forage dilemma. If one is looking for quality and quantity, what are your best options?
No-till offers the best option for planting on time this year. Field seedbed preparation should be limited to leveling ruts that may have been left by the previous year’s harvest.
For growers who had issues with rain or armyworm issues in October, Oklahoma State University Extension shares some management adjustments that could help late-planted winter wheat still succeed.
Delayed planting by itself is no guarantee of lower grain yield, says Purdue University, and "mudding in" a crop early to avoid planting late will almost always end up being an unwise decision.
Good rainfall and warm temperatures in July and August are probably the most important factors that determine yield, says an Ohio State University Extension agronomist.
Ohio State University Extension says the recent rainy, cool weather is ideal for slugs, with no-till fields with high residue at a higher risk of slug feeding.
Avoid planting when the soil is wet, consider alternatives to applying nitrogen pre-plant and use the optimal seeding rate to see better results with late-planted corn.
Most of Kansas wheat has been planted by this time of the year. However, some growers may have delayed planting for different reasons, including harvesting a summer crop during late October, or waiting for significant precipitation to occur.
