Скачать или смотреть Corn Planting Depth: 5 Reasons Why It's Important

Corn planting depth is one of the most crucial steps to set your corn crop up for success throughout the growing season. Pioneer Field Agronomist Paul Yoder counsels to plant corn 2 inches deep. This creates a nice, even stand for uniform germination and helps corn achieve uniform emergence. It offers a consistent soil temperature and soil moisture, which leads to uniform emergence and germination. A shallower planting depth is more susceptible to temperature fluctuations, making cold spells much more harmful to corn. Closing wheels are better equipped to help firm up the seed bed. It also reduces preseason emergence stress when applying preemergence chemistry.
