Corn Response Across Plant Densities and Row Configurations for Different Moisture Environments

Corn Response to within Row Plant Spacing

Key planting factors that influence corn stand establishment includes uniform depth and spacing of seed, correct seed population and optimizing the soil environment for rapid germination and uniform emergence. Other variables affecting stand establishment are seedbed quality (including soil moisture and temperature), seed quality and planter speed. Differences among fields for stand establishme...

Corn grain yield responses to tillage systems and plant densities

Plant Identification in Mosaicked Crop Row Images for Automatic Emerged Corn Plant Spacing Measurement

Image processing algorithms for individual corn plant and plant stem center identification were developed. These algorithms were applied to mosaicked crop row image for automatically measuring corn plant spacing at early growth stages. These algorithms utilized multiple sources of information for corn plant detection and plant center location estimation including plant color, plant morphologica...

Case Study: Fermentation of frozen whole-plant corn silage and high-moisture corn after thawing

The study objectives were to evaluate (1) the effect of thawing unfermented whole-plant corn (WPC; Exp. 1) on fermentation capacity after several months of frozen storage, and (2) the effect of temperature on fermentation profile of thawed high-moisture corn (HMC; Exp. 2) stored frozen for a longer period and then fermented at 2 ambient temperatures. Unfermented WPC and HMC samples were obtaine...

Adaptive yield response of winter wheat cultivars across environments in Poland using combined AMMI and

The objective of the paper was to illustrate using and usefulness of a joint AMMI and cluster analyses to assess the grain yield adaptive response of Polish and foreign 31 winter wheat cultivars in a range of 20 environments (locations) and across 3 years (2005-2007) under integrated crop management, using data obtained in the post-registration variety testing trials (called PDO trials), to ide...
