ReadHoegemeyer can help you best determine Fall Nitrogen Fertility Needs in Corn. Most universities base Nitrogen (N) fertility recommendations on a target yield. The assumption is that the target yield is accurate and that the crop is removing what was supplied. Excess N can leave corn vulnerable to rapid growth, poor stalk quality and increased lodging, and delayed maturity.
ReadLearn about corn pollination, variables and best approaches for the season. And as always, contact us for more answers and information.
ReadThis is the condition where rapidly growing stalks are broken by strong, sudden winds, associated storms and similar related weather activity. Hoegemeyer can help you control this condition occurring in the Western Corn Belt.
ReadThe army cutworm larvae is an early season pest of several crops including alfalfa. Hoegemeyer can help you cut through this troublesome pest.
ReadPurple corn is not a new phenomenon. It has been observed over the years in many inbred and hybrid lines all over the world. Wild corn found growing in the cool mountain regions of Peru and Mexico is often purple. Read the latest here from Hoegemeyer, or contact us to learn more about purple corn, causes and control.
ReadDuPont scientists are conducting extensive research designed to increase corn yields by improving the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of hybrids. Read the latest here, or contact Hoegemeyer to learn more about nitrogen uptake in corn.
ReadAs the corn growing season transitions from cooler spring-like weather to the heat of summer it is not uncommon to see fields with scattered or multiple plants whose leaves appear twisted or wrapped. Read more from Hoegemeyer here, or contact us to learn more about managing twisted whorls in corn.
