Objective

Demonstrate the value of CrusierMaxx seed treatment on stand and soybean yield.

Methods and Materials

Crop Management Info
Planting Date: May 26, 2005
Herbicides: Roundup
Hybrid: Dekalb SD92955
Insecticides: CruiserMaxx seed treatment
Population: 162,000 seeds/acre
Row Width: 30-inch

Demonstration Design
Replications: 3
Design: Randomized Block
Size: 10’ X 30’
Statistics: Analysis of Variance

Results

There was a significant increase in soybean stand with treated seed.

However, the results did not translate into a significant yield response from the seed treatment. There was a lot of plot to plot variability with a LSD of 11.5.
