Abstract: This study examines the operational practicality of using a destructive counting procedure to obtain plant component counts for the soybean objective yield survey. The current procedure uses a nondestructive procedure to obtain these counts. The results presented here are based on the data collected in Illinois in 1978 and 1979, Arkansas in 1979, and Ohio in 1979. Comparisons of the plant component counts obtained from the two methods are made. The forecasting abilities of the two methods are also compared.
