Deciding whether to replant a skippy stand is one of the more complicated decisions a producer can make. The performance of a skippy stand must be weighed against the performance of a later planting date and replanting costs among other factors. Research presented in this paper will report on teh second year of an experiment conducted in Georgia and Louisiana in which artificailly imposed skippy stands were measured for their performance against replanting on a less than optimal date. Stepwise regression analsysis of year one data identifed critical factors which could be used in evaluating and predicting teh yield of a skippy stand compared with a later replant. Year two data will be analyzed similarly for testing a decision aid that could possibly have utility in the field.
