Northeast Research and Demonstration Farm

Every year soybean planting can get delayed due to wet soil conditions. Soybean typically responds favorably to earlier season planting dates, although these also tend to compensate well if planting is delayed. The chance of having to replant due to late spring frost is offset by the chance of planting all crops in a timely manner. As spring planting progresses and planting is delayed, a question that always arises is when to switch to shorter maturity group soybean. This annually conducted trial at the research farm is designed to help demonstrate how well three different maturities are suited across four planting dates ranging from mid-April to late May.
