Seed bed conditions at planting is the final factor
of the soil environment that affects crop yield. Managing
seed bed conditions means ensuring that the soil is
in the best possible state prior toplanting. Even
the best seed will not do as well in cold, wet soil.
Plants that get off to a fast, uniform start are more
vigorous throughout their life cycle and are more able
to withstand in-season, uncontrollable stress, such
as drought or too much rain. |
