@schuelkecorn@jcalder1983 When you understand how badly water quality screws up herbicide efficacy more than anything else including temps, low gpa higher concentrated mix is obviously the way to go.
@Nick_Wilson3 By 9 year rotation youโre saying this is the 9th yr and you decided to try to plant corn with no nitrogen? What was previous crop? You say you have clover in mix, what other covers in the mix? And you said you added N fixing bugs to cover mix, any verification the actually worked
@Dusty3080467325 Atta boy! Give the 40 series kern a run for their money by coming out with a 39 series! Sure hope youโre running sat cold tests as well, not only regular cold germs.
@buperac Correct. Also certain Biostimulants can put a demand on certain nutrients so if the plant already has a hidden hunger and you put more demand on it, you create more stress and ultimately yield loss. Biostimulants are crazy and they arenโt for everyone.
@NicoleStecklein Itโs easy to sight ISU data. What does your data say? First mistake is planting by the calendar and as an agronomist you know this. What Iowa State data does not give you is any gdu data for that corn chart. Soybeans are driven by MegaJoules/m^2. Both matter respectively.
@bandedagllc Didnโt dig any up? Vt was after stripping it? Germination and growth only needs moisture, heat, and no air pockets, so if they arenโt there, one of the 3 is missing, obviously caused by the vt pass. My guess is moisture. Striptill still allows capillary water movement upward.
@TandTAg What was the gdu difference? In my experience with warm soil and warm temps, seed orientation can account for roughly 10-15 gdu difference. More than that and it was water imbibition and/or trench closing issue.
@agronomistag Well when my county is #1 in Iowa and in the top 10 nationally of all ag gross revenue with hog, cattle, chickens, and dairy, and 8 of the other 9 are fruit and vegetable counties in California, local manure source means the entire county. Next county north is #2 in Iowa.
