New tool to boost the efficiency of inserting desirable traits into corn hybrids is key to field successes seen with a proprietary 3 Bt-trait stack in heavy CRW fields.
Prior to working with the UNL TAPS farm management program (Testing Ag Performance Solutions), I had not fully understood the economic impact that the seed selection decision potentially has on farm profitability.
Short Statured Corn Systems from Bayer Crop Sciences boasts a number of benefits compared to the taller varieties. Firstly is protection of yield with improved standability as the short corn is less affected by high winds thanks to its naturally lower center of gravity keeping it rooted in the ground. The short corn also has improved access as its lower form makes it easier for application equipment to maneuver while spraying.
Choosing the right corn hybrid to plant for silage can be tricky. We know what to look for when choosing corn hybrids for grain &mash; yield, standability, maturity and pest resistance — but what should we look for in silage?
As the 2014 corn crop heads down the “home stretch” toward physiological maturity and harvest, here are a few items you may want to add to your “honey do” list.
In the last few years, drought conditions have raised questions about the utilization of corn as the main crop for maximizing yield production per unit of available water in dryland environments.
Raven Industries, Inc. announced a collaboration with Kinze Manufacturing, Inc. to bring a new multi-hybrid planter control system to Kinze's world-leading product offering.
A Purdue University study shows that high-yielding, modern corn hybrids take up not only more nitrogen from soil but more micronutrients such as zinc, iron, manganese and copper. Nitrogen fertilizer rates also influence how much of these nutrients are stored in the grain at harvest.
