Early Planting Cuts Number of Barren Stalks
Iowa State agronomists Dr. W. B. Cardwell and Dr. J. C. Anderson report at the American Society of Agronomy meeting that planting corn before May 1 reduces barren plants and nub kernels. Early planting also favors population-intolerant varieties, yielding higher returns despite high population planting. High-lysine corn requires extra potassium to maintain yields, according to Sam Goodsell who notes opaque-2 corn increases kernel potassium content and responds to potassium applications.
