Soybean Growth and Development & Management Information for Replant Decisions

Management Information for Replant Decisions

Don't make a hasty decision to replant soybeans when the plant population is not as good as you expected. When hail or wind has damaged soybeans early in the season, replanting is possible, but certain information needed to make a good decision must be obtained. Stage of plant growth, calendar date, extent of plant damage, remaining plant population, weed control effectiveness, seed availability as well as labor and cost of replanting need to be considered in making the decision.

This section will assist you in determining the extent of damage to the plants in your field and help you compare yield losses due to low plant populations with losses due to replanting at a late date. This section will also offer recommendations for varieties or alternate crops to use in replanting if it is deemed necessary and discusses how weed management decisions can affect your replant decision.
