Planting and weed control advice for Iowa soybeans
Weeds in soybean fields reduce yields in Iowa. Proper planting rates boost competition against weeds. For medium width rows 28 to 32 inches use one bushel of good seed per acre. wide 42 inch rows 45 pounds. narrow drilled with wheat drill two bushels. Seed must be 90 percent germination and clean. If weedier land, increase rates slightly. Planting between May 10 and 25 yields better than later. drilled beans should wait until May 25 to 31. Kill weeds before planting and again after emergence using harrow, weeder, or rotary hoe at least weekly until beans reach 6 to 8 inches.
