Synopsis
Soybean seed quality was usually highest from late dates of planting. Exceptions to this general rule were noted when short season varieties planted early matured before the occurrence of hot, dry weather and when full‐season varieties were planted early but matured considerably after the hot, dry weather had ended. An average of visual ratings for several seed characters and a single overall visual seed quality rating were approximately equal to laboratory germination in predicting relative field emergence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
