Corn Culture Insights From Indiana Station Bulletin
A bulletin summarizes corn culture experiments showing best yields from planting in early May, with late plantings maturing faster. Thick planting improves average yields of grain and stalks, though in dry seasons it can reduce grain. Eight inches deep plowing slightly increases yield. Crop rotation sustains yields and soil fertility. Manure boosts yield, though heavy fertilizers may not pay in dry years. Varieties vary in stalk to ear ratios, and local seed is preferable to distant sources. Cabbage bursting can be prevented by root starting methods during head development.
