Preliminary research at the West TN Research and Education Center in Jackson, TN in 2013 compared skip row planted soybean to standard 15 inch row planted soybean, resulting in an increased yield in the skip row system with both maturity groups tested. Yield increases in a high rainfall year were due to improved branching and pod production on skip row soybean using approximately one third less seed per acre. On-farm trials were conducted in 2014 to evaluate the impact on yield of using the skip row planting system under a range of environments and rainfall patterns.
