Objective • Evaluate the effect of insecticide seed treatment on: • Variety Maturity Group (lll, lV, and V) and planting dates on growth and yield. • Returns above seed treatment cost. B. Determine optimum planting dates for soybean variety maturity groups.
Locations: Verona, Starkville, and Stoneville • Maturity Groups Varieties: MGIII (AG3906); Early MGIV (AG4403); Late MGIV (Pioneer 94B73); Early MGV (DK5068); and Late MGV (DP5634). • Planting dates: Early April, Early May, and Early June. • Seed treatments: Apron (CK) and Apron + Cruiser.
