In this week’s Boots In The Field Report Ken talks evaluating stands and diagnosing causes of non-uniformity. He covers why growers may have seen even emergence initially but now are seeing uneven plants. Ken stresses the importance of knowing if the difference is a height difference or a collar difference. Plants can be the same collar but different heights if there is an interruption in the transition from seed roots to crown roots creating slower growth. He also reports more issues showing up for growers that used a spoke closing wheel in tilled soil creating more moisture issues with this dry spring. Ken also says that now is a great time to evaluate how your early season fertility program and residue management program are working based on how much your corn crop suffers during the carbon penalty phase.
