Feb 24, 2009 9:33 AM
An article on Page 12 of the Feb. 20, 2009, issue of Delta Farm Press displayed incorrect information regarding criteria for selecting seeding rates. The correct information is:
Higher seeding rate situations:
• Planting extremely early (March — early April)
• Heavy clay soils
• Group 3s or early to mid-group 4 varieties
• Planting with a gravity flow drill
• Rough soil conditions
• Low germination seed
Lower seeding rate situations
• Late planting (late April through mid-May)
• Sandy soils
• Group 5 varieties
• Vacuum planter
• Smooth or optimal soil conditions
• High germination seed (greater than 90 percent germination)
