Corn Insect Damage Often Exaggerated
University of Illinois soils specialist P. E. Johnson says insect damage is often blamed for poor corn yields. actual issues stem from soil nutrient imbalance, especially low potash. In tight soils with clay pans, potash is quickly depleted, worsened by extra nitrogen or phosphate. A full soil treatment with nitrogen, phosphate and potash yields strong roots and stiff stalks. If potash suffers during development, damage to the plant occurs.
