Jorschumb SB Plot

Jorschumb's soybean plot is right next to Wheaton on the NE side along the Wheaton/Norcross tar. It was a real nice plot but was planted late and had some frost. The results:

Pioneer P07T50r  -  59.9 bu/a
Pioneer 90M80    -  60.8 bu/a
AsGrow AG0732 -  56.0 bu/a
Pioneer P10T02r  -  62.4 bu/a  -  #1
Pioneer P10T91r  -  57.4 bu/a
Pioneer 91Y10     -  57.7 bu/a
AsGrow AG1431 -  55.3 bu/a
Pioneer P13T99r  -  54.1 bu/a
Pioneer P15T83r  -  55.3 bu/a
Pioneer P19T60r  -  51.3 bu/a
Pioneer P16T04r  -  58.2 bu/a
Pioneer P22T61r  -  47.2 bu/a

P10T02r was top yielder at 62.4 bu/a with a good showing by 90M80 also. This is the first plot or field info where P10T91r wasn't at or near the top. Just shows that one plot location is not enough to get good info. You need multiple locations and multiple fields to get a good read on some of these varieties. Note also that the worst yield was a 2.2 maturity bean that obviously took a big hit from frost. We always like to see how far we can push things here in Traverse County and obviously a 2.2 maturity bean is too far!

This plot also had a comparison of different seed treatments applied to 91Y10. The results:

2030/PPST Treated - 57.7 bu/a
WC150 Treated       - 55.0 bu/a
WECO Treated       -  54.3 bu/a
Marauder Treated   -  54.4 bu/a
MegaPack Treated  - 52.9 bu/a

As you can see, the 2030/PPST Treatment which we use here at South Valley Seed was the highest yielder and along with our other treatment plot, confirms that we are recommending and using the right seed treatment.
