This study examined the effects of variable seeding rates and soil apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) on crop growth and yields under semi-arid conditions in northern Spain. Three plots with varying ECa levels were analyzed over multiple agricultural seasons for barley and wheat yields. The findings suggest that zones with higher ECa exhibit greater productive potential in the studied region, highlighting soil quality as a critical factor. Despite this, no significant differences were observed across different seeding rates, suggesting that seeding rates could be reduced without impacting yield, potentially saving on input costs. NDVI analysis confirmed these findings, with no significant variation in management zones or seeding rates.
