Plant-to-Plant Variability in Corn Production

Corn production and plant characteristics response to N fertilization management in dry-land conventional tillage system

Nitrogen (N) application management needs to be refined for low yielding environments under dryland conditions. This 3-yr study examined nitrogen fertilization management effects on corn (Zea mays L.) plant characteristics and grain yield in rain fed environment under conventional tillage system. Nitrogen fertilization management consisted of two timing methods of N application [all N at planti...

Corn grain yield responses to tillage systems and plant densities

evaluation of plant-to-plant variability of medicinal plants

many of precision farming studies have shown a high plant-to-plant variability for many crops. this study was conducted to evaluate the plant-to-plant variability of three medicinal crops in comparison with corn as a long term commercial species. thus a field experiment was performed in 2009-2010 in ferdowsi university of mashhad, research farm. in this experiment plant morphological characters...

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...
