Enough But Not Too
Many Corn Plants,
Says AgrOnOmist

"a thin planting of corn, with
big ears, rarely gives big overall
yields" says William H. Mitchell,
assistant extension agronomist,
University of Delaware.
The University agronomists say
that from $4,000 to $4,000 plants
per acre will produce the highest
corn yields, year in and year out.
Out of the Delaware farmers who
rated 100 bushel Corn Club certifi-
Gates in last years yield program,
approximately so percent had
stands in the 10000 to $4,000 range
Only Is of the 63 growers had less
than 1900 plants per acre. The
winner, H. W. Cook, of near Glas-
cow, had 1880 plants per acre.
This higher number pays off in a
favorable year, says Mitchell, but
usually Delaware farmers can't
count on enough rainfall to sup
port more than $4,000 plants per
acre. In several cases last year
farmers with stands higher than
$4,000 had lower yields than those
/ in the recommended range.
Planting rates to achieve II to
II thousand plants per acre are:
/ Row width compared with the
distance between plants. AZ inches
II to II inches; 40 inches, II to 1G
inches; 38 inches, 13 to IA inches;
26 inches. IA to Is inches.
Mitchell recommends planting
an inch closer than these rates tC
get the desired stand. This allows
for kernels that don't grow, anC
crow and cutworm damage.
