New generations of hybrids have unique traits, including insect and herbicide resistance, and high-oil content. Coming soon are hybrids with ear rot resistance and superior phosphorus utilization. Warm up to field selection Hybrid corn is an excellent fit for fields with a history of manure applications. Nitrogen levels that would cause lodging in barley will actually boost grain and silage yields in corn. Around the world, corn is utilized in combination with livestock for efficient nutrient cycling.
Corn also responds very well to applied fertility.
Hybrids are available to match a wide range of soil types and management systems, including irrigated and dryland farming. Establishing planting depth and density Corn is planted 1.5 inches deep through a large-seed planter. Deeper planting may be warranted in dry or sandy soils. Air-planters can also provide acceptable spacing and depth control. In most areas, custom planters and rental equipment are available.
