1. Weed Control Timing Effects on Corn Yield Response to Nitrogen

Nitrogen (N) rate guidelines for corn are under c ontinued scrutiny to maximize N use efficiency in order to minimize potential N losses to th e environment while maximizing economic returns to growers, especially with significant N fertilizer price increases in recent years. In-season crop stress can potentially affect corn N needs for optimum production. Recently, postemergence weed control has become more common with th e availability of glyphosate resistant corn hybrids. Delaying weed control...
