Orientation planting edge boosts corn yield and saves moisture
U S Department of Agriculture scientists report that placing seed corn kernels with points down and flat sides parallel to rows conserves soil moisture. Orientation planting reduces ground sun exposure by up to 90 percent, increasing moisture for the car-setting stage. Yields in limited tests rose by 3 to 23 bushels per acre. Methods include tape positioning and modified planters to place kernels correctly.
