Our efforts at the Agronology 10 Research Center have been directed toward methods, procedures or products that increase the odds that the farm will have a successful crop.
-
The 24 plots in our consideration group had an average yield of 228.0 Bu/A. This was a very average yield for our considerations group. The 228.0 Bu/A ranked 5th lowest yield in the new millennium (2001-2011). -
The highest yielding individual corn plot achieved 260.6 Bu/A. This yield ranked 5th highest in the new millennium. -
20 of 24 plots (83%) had P & K applied for the corn crop. -
18 of 20 fertilized plots (90%) had a micro-nutrient package applied. -
16 of 20 corn plots (80%) were either fertilized with a fall, dribble application of 24-45-65-10s-.428zn-.2B or 24-55-85-10s-.428zn-.2B. -
23 of 24 plots (96%) were fertilized with P & K the prior year to the 2011 corn crop. -
The average soil test values for these 24 plots were:-
Available P (ppm): 32 -
Exchangable K (ppm): 238
