Stunting method boosts corn yield in Southern fields
The author describes a long experiment to improve corn by deep soil breaking, careful planting depth, and staged fertilization. By dramatically reducing stalk size through controlled stunting and precise use of nitrate of soda and other fertilizers, yields rose from prior poor crops to 52 to 84 bushels per acre, with some acres reaching higher. The approach emphasizes soil health, deep cultivation, early planting, and measured cultivation to prevent overgrowth.
