Short Statured Corn Systems from Bayer Crop Sciences boasts a number of benefits compared to the taller varieties. Firstly is protection of yield with improved standability as the short corn is less affected by high winds thanks to its naturally lower center of gravity keeping it rooted in the ground. The short corn also has improved access as its lower form makes it easier for application equipment to maneuver while spraying.
With corn prices continuing on a stagnant path for the foreseeable future, many no-tillers are looking for ways to ratchet up efficiency with their inputs, including with nitrogen (N).
Golden Harvest is releasing 25 new corn hybrids for 2020 planting. The latest product lineup equips farmers with 11 hybrids containing the Agrisure Duracade corn rootworm control trait, along with the Agrisure Viptera and Agrisure Artesian traits.
Growers have a better chance of succeeding with no-till with a diverse rotation, proper fertilizer placement, prudent residue management and proper hybrid selection to meet unique no-till challenges.
With planting season not as far away as it might seem, editors at No-Till Farmer recently talked with Nebraska Extension ag engineer Paul Jasa about a range of topics related to no-tilling corn, soybeans and wheat.
Yield monitor data can help growers make decisions on water management practices, nitrogen and other nutrients, diseases and more, says Michigan State University Extension.
Demonstration plots can be useful in providing information on certain hybrid traits that are usually not reported in state corn performance summaries, says Ohio State University Extension.
