Spring Planter Tips and Planting Considerations

Pioneer Field Agronomist Ron Joiner provides spring planting tips and considerations for growers. As growers move from field-to-field, they should be monitoring planter depth, which can impact emergence patterns and result in yield loss. Growers should also pay attention to seed spacing. Non-uniform spacing can be caused by worn planter parts, resulting in skips or double seeds. A third consideration is soil temperature. It is generally recommended that farmers plant when soil temperatures are at or above 50°F. Farmers can expect much slower emergence and growth when soil temperatures are lower.
