[QUOTE="Soya UK, post: 7482141, member: 41712"] Hi Flatliner - In the UK we aim to use the very earliest varieties - Maturity Group 0000 which usually have a CHU requirement around 2250. With those varieties, you usually aim for about 55 plants per square metre (220k per acre). Obviously, your latitude determines the maturity group you would grow, and therefore the target population. If you guys are aiming for 35 plants per square metre - I'm guessing you are growing group 0 or group 1 varieties?? Wider rows? As for yields - a good crop for us would be doing over 1 tonne per acre, and an OK-ish one would be doing 0.75 to a tonne. We also get poorer ones where the seedbed hasn't been right or establishment has been poor, but if populations are achieved, we normally hope for a tonne. [/QUOTE]
