Every acre is unique. That’s why Pioneer® — the nation’s #1 brand for corn and soybeans¹ — delivers proven genetics, advanced traits, and local support. Our insights and recommendations are tailored for the West, helping growers get the most out of every bag of seed.
As soybean production has increased in the Southern U.S. the range of planting dates has expanded, from late March through late June. Find out more on planting date considerations as studied in 2 research trials.

Studies across the U.S. have found optimum corn seeding depths to vary from 1 to over 3 inches depending on soil texture, moisture, temperature and seeding date.

A dense soybean canopy can help suppress weeds; a benefit that may be more important to consider as herbicide-resistant weeds become more prevalent.
Learn More
Recommended planting dates for corn in the Southern U.S. can range from late February to April. Corn yield potential may decline when weather conditions cause planting delays beyond April. Relatively good yields are still achievable through the first half of May in many areas.

Agronomists & corn producers have long been interested in the potential to improve corn growth and yield by controlling the orientation of the corn seed in the furrow at planting.
Learn More
If early season stresses are sporadic in the field, starter fertilizer may help reduce uneven stand development and yield loss that often results from these conditions.
Learn More
Shallow planting can expose corn seedlings to herbicide residues, increasing the potential for herbicide injury. Emergence may be less uniform due to a greater variability in moisture and temperature conditions in the seed bed and poorer seed-to-soil contact.

Compare days to Growing Degree Unit (GDU) accumulation at reproductive stages of soybean growth among different planting dates.

Staging a corn seedling - each leaf stage is defined according to the uppermost leaf whose leaf collar is visible.

The growing number of VRS-enabled planters and on-farm use of GPS technology make it easier than ever to deploy a VRS strategy. However growers still need to understand variability within their fields and implement appropriate hybrid-specific seeding rates.
Learn MoreThroughout each season, growers do their best to get the most yield out of each crop. Planting date can play a role in yield. Jason Rudick, Pioneer Field Agronomist, is in a soybean trial plot that was planted on various dates in the spring. The plot allows Pioneer to measure GDUs throughout the crop's lifecycle, and better measure a potential yield advantage during harvest.
