Soybean seeding rates and optimum plant populations
The optimum seeding rate is one of the most influential factors for increasing soybean profitability as seed cost is one of the most expensive inputs. Read more from Cropping Specialist Ignacio Ciampitti in this article.
Optimal corn seeding rate recommendations
Deciding on the optimal corn seeding rates for your fields can be tricky when you factor in the hybrid, environmental conditions, and management practices. Learn more about this process and what new research is being done at K-State to help producers make this decision.

Soybean seeding rates and optimum plant populations
The optimum seeding rate is one of the most influential factors for increasing soybean profitability as seed cost is one of the most expensive inputs. Yield potential for each environment should be consider when deciding soybean seeding rates.
Sorghum management considerations: Planting practices
The most critical planting practices affecting yields in grain sorghum are: row spacing, row arrangement, seeding rate/plant population, planting date, and hybrid maturity. Learn which planting practices are best suited for your location and cropping system.

Sorghum management considerations: Planting practices
There can be considerable environmental variation across Kansas during the growing season for grain sorghum. The most critical planting practices affecting sorghum yield are row spacing, row arrangement, seeding rate/plant population, planting date, and hybrid maturity. Tailoring the right management strategy to your location is critical.

Sorghum management considerations: Planting practices
During the growing season of grain sorghum, there can be considerable environmental variation across Kansas, with a high probability of drought after flowering when moving west. Tailoring the optimal management strategy by location is critical to increasing productivity and reducing the impact of weather stressors.
