Modern Corn Hybrid's Nutrient Uptake Patterns
Better Crops/Vol. 97 (2013, No. 1) 7
By Ross R. Bender, Jason W. Haegele, Matias L. Ruffo, and Fred E. Below
Biotechnology, breeding, and agronomic advancements have propelled corn yields to new highs with little guidance as to how to fertilize these modern corn hybrids to achieve their maximum yield potential. Current fertilization practices, developed decades ago, may not match uptake capabilities of modern hybrids that contain transgenic insect protection now grown at population densities higher than ever before. A re-evaluation of nutrient uptake and partitioning can provide the foundation for fine-tuning our practices as we strive to achieve corn’s maximum yield potential.
