The nutrient needs of corn continue to evolve, especially as modern corn hybrids and agronomic practices advance. There are a lot of factors that play a role in the nutrient needs of plants, nutrient availability and plant uptake, and nutrient utilization throughout the season. In this blog post, we’ll explore those factors, the variables at…
There are many variables that play a role in nitrogen management. Placement is sometimes overlooked – mainly because for years there hasn’t been many choices in application methods – with a limited window of application. Where N is applied within the row is important Traditional sidedress methods apply N in the middle of the crop…
Water is a blessing. But, poor drainage can negatively impact your crops. With pattern tiling, you can gain more control over water so you can capture more yield potential. Pattern tiling allows you to better manage water, improve your soil and capture more yield. Benefits include: Improved soil aeration and reduced compaction Deeper root growth…
Efficient nitrogen management is critical, both for yields and for your bottom line. As we monitor input costs – and regulations – we must know, not guess, how much nitrogen is in our fields. 360 SOILSCAN is a portable soil lab system that provides you with zone-specific soil nitrate analysis in about five minutes, allowing…
Spring is upon us – trees are budding, flowers are blooming and you’re itching to get in the fields. Before planting gets into full swing, here are four tips for a successful start to the 2015 growing season. 1. Complete equipment calibration Before getting into the fields, complete all necessary equipment checks. Make sure your…
It’ spring. Time to get the equipment out and start planting. But, before you get too far down the road – do you know how much nitrogen is in your field? Matt Foes, regional agronomy manager for 360 Yield Center, shares an update on nitrogen trials on his farm in northern Illinois. Foes tests the…
As snow melts and temperatures rise, we start focusing on getting into the field. When it comes to your 2015 nitrogen (N) plan, we should begin with the end in mind – minimizing plant stress by managing nutrients as best as possible. We want to ensure we’re feeding the crop the right amount of N…
MORTON, Ill., How much nitrogen does it take to produce 200 bushels of corn per acre? Thats a very common question with multiple answers. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to nitrogen management. And not every corn crop needs the same amount of N to produce 200 plus bushels per acre. The reality is that an…
