Air seeders can be used to establish the crop in standing stubble provided care is taken not to damage seeds. Adding moisture to seeds a few days before seeding is beneficial. Allow time for added moisture to penetrate into the cotyledons. Uniform plant stands are more productive. Make sure seeding equipment delivers seed uniformly at an even depth.
Weed control is critical, especially if stands are thin.
Be prepared to apply a fungicide to control white mold. Use correct pickup and combine settings at harvest. Timing is the key to good bean production. Seed on time, spray on time, swath on time, combine on time. The last point to remember is that patience is required.
