Top-Dressing Could Boost Alabama Corn Yields
Auburn May 17 0 extension agronomist Lowery says top dressing corn with 200 pounds per acre of nitrate of soda or nitrate of lime may lift yield by about six bushels per acre. Based on 2 675 000 acres planted last year this could add roughly 37 400 000 bushels, if acres rise as forecast. Apply 35 to 40 days after planting in one application for best results.
