Consider increasing corn plant population

A recent study showed that half of farmers surveyed had not changed their seeding rate in the past five years, even though seed technology has changed tremendously over the same period of time.

What’s more, nine out of 10 growers reported no change in their plant populations with rootworm corn, a technology designed specifically to allow increased populations to boost yield.

If you haven’t thought about your populations recently, it’s time to reconsider. Increased populations – where agronomic conditions are right – can have a significant impact on yields.
