Seed corn testing and seed treatment guidance for Iowa farmers
Iowa farmers weigh whether to test seed corn ear by ear before planting. Porter of Iowa State College says a composite sample showing 45 percent germination favors no individual ear test, while below 95 percent germination supports testing. Seed treatment with Merko Bayer dust or Semesan Jr. can boost yields by reducing mold, with costs around 4 cents per acre.
