Planting Date and Soybean Maturity Group--2014

Recent rainy periods that may have resulted in flooding of low-lying areas of soybean fields in the Midsouth will necessarily prompt replanting concerns.  This then raises the question of what varieties, or rather which MG varieties, should be selected for the areas or fields that will require replanting.

A large soybean project funded jointly by the United Soybean Board and the MidSouth Soybean Board (MSSB—Mississippi  is a contributing member of this group) was conducted at eight locations in the Midsouth in 2012 and 10 locations in 2013.
