Effects of Heat Stress on Corn

Heat stress effects on corn are complex and often difficult to quantify. Heat stress is not just a function of temperature, but also depends on the duration and timing of high temperature, as well as the rate of temperature change. Pioneer Field Agronomist Paul Yoder discusses heat and drought stress and how it can impact your corn crop. Heat stress is also often accompanied by drought, which can make it challenging to disentangle the individual impacts of temperature and water stress on corn growth and yield. Research has shown that the direct effect of heat stress is important, but the greater impact likely comes from the effect of heat on intensifying water stress.
