[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1763539, member: 14585"] Yes, plants under stress put all their effort into reproduction, seed production vs growth for the species to survive. Rolling soybeans early in growth stage limits plant height here in Mn, shortens plant height, but boy do they ever set pods, adds several bushels per acre. I don't know who came up with the idea, because you'd think stressing plants in that manner would have opposite effect, but rolling soybeans really increases seed production. p.s. they look like crap for a couple of weeks after rolling and the first time you do it you'll say, oh no, what have I done! :) lol [/QUOTE]
