Planting the wrong variety in the wrong field 75% of all varieties never perform to their potential because they are planted in the wrong field. Planting the same field more than two years in a row Non-symbiotic relationships occur between the variety and the soil, resulting in yield losses when the same germplasm is planted in the same field more than two years in a row. Basing next year’s plans on last year’s results We do not use yield monitors, test plots or side by sides to develop our cropping plan for next year.
