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.
Early evaluation of corn stands is important for identifying yield-limiting factors and making management decisions to mitigate them. Evaluation of corn stands should begin soon after rows are visible, say researchers at the University of Minnesota.
The prospect of delayed planting of corn leads corn growers to consider whether changes in seeding rate should be made in response to late planting. Discover the optimum plant populations based on planting date, according to Purdue University.
