As spring approaches and farmers and agronomists begin to get anxious as corn planting approaches, the question that often arrives each year is when is the best time to begin planting?
Purdue Extension’s corn and soybean specialists are back for another edition of Purdue Crop Chat. Dr. Shaun Casteel and Dr. Dan Quinn are joined on this episode by Dr. Shalamar Armstrong, associate professor of soil conservation and management at Purdue, to discuss soil health practices, the impacts of certain cover crops, and the emerging carbon credit markets that are generating a lot of interest from farmers. The Purdue Crop Chat is presented by the Indiana Corn Marketing Council and Indiana Soybean Alliance. Your Indiana corn and soybean checkoff investments yesterday are paying off today. New research, new uses, demand creation — bringing dollars back to the farm. Check it out at YourCheckoff.org. Hear the full podcast.
This report summarizes corn yield response to fertilizer nitrogen (N) rate in field-scale trials conducted around the state of Indiana since 2006. These results are applicable to N management programs that use efficient methods and timings of N fertilizer application.
The Purdue Crop Chat is a regular podcast from Hoosier Ag Today and the Purdue University Extension Service, featuring Purdue Extension soybean specialist Dr. Shaun Casteel and Extension Corn Specialist Dr. Dan Quinn.
Sulfur (S) deficiency is becoming more common in Indiana crops because, in part, S deposition from coal-fired power plants has been reduced.
Seed corn represents one of the most expensive variable input costs for Indiana corn growers (Langemeier et al., 2021) and so choosing the most economical seeding rate is important for maximizing dollar return to seed at harvest time.
The key to maximizing corn yield is largely driven by minimizing the impact of potential yield-limiting factors during the growing season.
This week marks the first time that corn harvest progress has dropped below the 5-year average for 2021.
