Higher temperatures could have detrimental effects on yields when corn plants are planted more closely together, according to a study from North Carolina State University. Corn yields in densely planted areas drop by about 1.86 percent with every 1 degree Celsius rise in monthly minimum and maximum temperatures through the planting season, the study’s models show.

Site-specific yield estimation is important for efficient management of agricultural inputs and explaining spatial yield variability. However, the causes of yield variability may differ due to interactions among weather, crop management, and site characteristics such as soil type and topography, according to the University of Minnesota.

5 Top Notch Tips for Better No-Till Planting, Seed Placement

Striving for uniformity ‘every day of the year’ is the best approach to no-tilling crops and optimizing yields, says ag engineer Paul Jasa.

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. From ensuring proper seeding depth and spacing, to choosing the right planter and seeder attachments, to the location of the new rows, Jasa explained what steps no-tillers may want to consider to achieve better and more consistent. Here are the highlights of this discussion.

There have been many reports across Iowa of corn along the edge of the fields yielding drastically less than the remainder of the field. In many cases, the yield loss is most obvious on the southern edge of the field, says Iowa State University.

No-Till Out-Yields Tillage in Tough Conditions

Two long-term tillage studies in Indiana and Illinois prove no-till can yield as well as tillage and perform even better in periods of drought or heat stress.
