Planting: |
Plant in late April and May. Plant
to a depth of 1 to 1.5 inches where tillage is used. Only
plant 0.75 to 1 inch for no-till seeding. |
|
Seeding Rate: |
Solid seeding of soybeans in Ohio uses
rows from 10-12 inches apart. If spraying or cultivation is
needed, a row may be skipped to allow width for passage of tractor
tires. Depending on the row spacing, seeding rates are
designed to produce 80,000 to 140,000 plants per acre. |
|
Fertility: |
For satisfactory N fixation, the soil pH
in the plow layer should be above 6.5. For medium range soils,
P application should start at about 40 lb/acre and K at 80 lb.
Manganese deficiency may be a problem in some areas. |
|
Insects: |
Insects which may cause problems in
soybeans are the Two-spotted Spider Mite, Bean Leaf Beetle, Mexican
Bean Beetle, and the Japanese Beetle. |
|

Phytophthora, Pythium and Rhizoctonia
root rot, Sclerotinia stem rot, Soybean cyst nematode. |
