Managing for Higher Corn Plant Populations
Higher plant populations can be managed by planting in narrower row spacings.
Focus Seed Catalog
Focus: the center of activity, attraction, or attention. That’s what we are committed to do. We know not every hybrid fits every acre or management style but here are the hybrids we are excited to use in 2020.
New Research Comparing Ortho/Poly-Phosphate Ratios
Given poly-phosphates are not immediately plant available and ortho-phosphates are immediately plant available, this gives the promoters of “high” ortho-phosphate starters ample opportunity to muddy the waters. Nevertheless, the facts are, poly-phosphates are rather rapidly hydrolyzed (converted to) into ortho-phosphates once applied to soils, and this hydrolysis process generally takes just 48 hrs or so to complete.
Urea – A Poor Choice of Nitrogen Fertilizer for In-Season N Applications
Summary Urea fertilizer, if not incorporated by tillage or precipitation, is highly susceptible to ammonia volatilization (loss to the atmosphere as ammonia gas). Uniform application of urea can be problematic due to segregation of larger and smaller urea prills and due to physical spread pattern interference from standing corn during in-season applications. Liquid UAN…

Tar Spot Update
Jake Standal went to a meeting yesterday and seen Dr. Damon Smith with the University of Wisconsin give an update on Tar Spot. I thought Jake’s notes were extremely valuable and the most up to date relevant information I have seen to date.
