Weeds and Water Dominate Iowa Corn Yields
The Iowa State College expert explains that moisture is the main limiter of corn yields and weeds increase water use in fields. Data show corn requires about 868 pounds of water per pound produced, with weeds like cockleburs lambsquarter and ragweed consuming large water shares and reducing corn yield accordingly. Cultivation mainly helps weed control. otherwise it may be unnecessary when no weeds are present.
