1. High Yield Corn ResearchThe objective of this study was to evaluate four corn hybrids at 15 and 30 inch row spacing and at plant densities of 28,000 and 34,000 plants per acre. The irrigated study was conducted at East Lansing on a Metea loamy sand soil. The 15 inch row spacing was obtained by back-planting in between 30 inch rows. Other cultural and management inputs are described at the bottom of Table 1. The first obviously noticeable difference in 1984 was the uneven stand in the 15 inch row spacing particularly for... |
2. Zinc Deficiency Response of Sorghum, Wheat, and CornZinc (Zn) deficiency in corn (Zea mays L.) is more common than in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) or wheat (Triticum sp.). The ability of wheat to withstand low soil Zn conditions is related to increased release of phytosiderophore, a natural chelate, fiom its roots. The reasons for sorghum's ability to utilize low levels of soil Zn have not been adequately explored. The objective of this research was to: 1) ascertain if Zn deficiency can be induced with sorghum, wheat, and corn grown in a... |
