Moisture and Soybean Seedling Emergence
ABSTRACT EFFECTS of soil and seed moisture on soybean seed-ling emergence force number and critical time (time at which the seedling attains its maximum force) were evaluated. Negatively correlated exponential relation-ships were obtained between the critical time and moisture. Quadratic relationships were indicated be-tween the seedling emergence force number and mois-ture. Generalized prediction equations were developed for seedling force number and the critical time.
