Here’s how to protect your crop from excessive rainfall, drought and cold temperatures.
Both red and white MOP lend valuable potassium and chloride to the soil.
When you grow corn, the first nutrient you think about is nitrogen (N). But phosphorus (P) is equally important. The right timing and placement can boost yield in years of late planting.
Biologicals can be broken into two general categories: biopesticides and biostimulants.
As the calendar days tick away, many farmers are moving at lightning speed to apply fertilizer, kill weeds and get seeds in the ground—but can you cut out one of those steps?
MycoApply EndoPrime is an in-furrow corn treatment used to enhance the soil and ultimately yield. Valent is including four species of mycorrhizal fungi to improve corn’s performance.
When it comes to feeding your crop, you want nutrients readily available when they’re needed. After selecting nutrient rates, your next decision is the vehicle you’ll use to fertilize your crop.
The Grand Forks complex would produce ammonia, urea and UAN for farmers growing crops such as corn and canola.
Supplying your corn crop’s critical early season nitrogen needs can make or break your yield.
For some farmers, excess moisture led to depleted nutrients, which might mean you need to take a closer look at your nutrient mix in 2020.
“If we have five different soil types, why do we go out and put out a flat rate of nitrogen?” Eller adds. “You’re leaving top-end yield on the table and overfeeding the under performers.”
For high yields, corn crops needs nitrogen throughout the growing season.
Penny pinching could be the difference between making, or losing, money next season.
Sulfur application methods, placement and timing depend on soil conditions in each field.
Potassium (K) regulates water loss and maintains turgor pressure. Identify K-deficiency symptoms in corn and soybeans before drought damages your yield.
The clock is ticking on fall fertilizer decisions. A trio of factors—a wet spring, yields on pace to set all-time records and low corn prices—place a premium on making tough choices for 2015 crops even before this year’s harvest.
Here’s how to manage a crucial, but often overlooked, building block of high corn yield.
