maturity but with early pollination window (1300 to 1350 GDUs)

weather. Potash “cools” the plant•Aflatoxin is increased by dry
weather. Phosphates help “water” the plant

Low Boron Levels in Corn
• Boron is responsible for healthy root growth and resistant to diseases.
• A lack of boron in a corn plant results in:• Poor kernel
development.• The deterioration
of root and stem growing points.
• Stunted roots.

How do We Increase Profits?
Based on DSS:• Rotation• Planting Date• Hybrid Selection• Fertility Program• Planting Operations

Planter Calibration
• Researchers claim a 10 to 15% reduction in yields by using poorly calibrated planters.
• Results showed an increase of up to 23 bushels per acre when spacing corn evenly
• Uneven seed depth lowers yields from 5% to 25%.

Planting Depth Affects Yields
•Shallow planting lowered yields by 11 bushels in field trials.
•Plant corn between 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep.

Planting Depth Affects Yields
• This photo show the same hybrid from the same field planted the same day with the same amount of fertilizer; one was planted too shallow
•Shallow planting produced less roots which caused a N deficiency.
•Shallow planting will cause moisture stress

Impact of Planting Speed
Planting slower produced more corn

How do We Capture Corn Profits?
•Planting Date; the race is on…•Hybrid Selection; offense sells
tickets (seed) but defense wins championships (makes profits)
•Fertilizers: beat the heat•Planting Operations: be the
ball
