1 Planting Agronomics and Crop Rotations for High-Yield Corn Barriers to Bushels Meeting Fergus Falls, MN March 8, 2011 Jeff Coulter - Extension Corn Agronomist coult077@umn.edu
2 Hybrid selection Crop rotation Planting date Stand establishment Seeding rate Row spacing Planting Agronomics
3 Yield differences among hybrids are huge Rothsay, MN (2006 to 2010) 70 to 125 hybrids/year of day RM
4 Hybrids longer than 87-day RM have yielded more Rothsay, MN (2006 to 2010) 70 to 125 hybrids/year of day RM
5 Hybrids longer than 85-day RM have been wetter Rothsay, MN (2006 to 2010) 70 to 125 hybrids/year of day RM
6 Crop Rotation
7 Benefits of Alfalfa in Crop Rotations Supplies nitrogen About 100% of the N for 1 st year corn About 50% of the N for 2 nd year corn Can boost corn yield Disrupts pest cycles (corn rootworm & weeds) Improves soil structure & tilth Reduces soil organic matter losses Reduces soil erosion
8 Data Reported by Growers in West-Central MN from 2007 to 2009 Data from FINBIN
9 1) Crop rotation boosted yield (7 to 19% at high N rate). 2) Crop rotation reduced nitrogen needs. Lancaster, WI ( ) Stanger et al. (Agronomy Journal, 2008)
10 Alfalfa reduces N fertilizer requirement for 2 years Slide from Michael Russelle (USDA-ARS) Non-N rotation effects N credit (lb N/ac) 1 st yr after soybean 53 2 nd yr after soybean 5 1 st yr after alfalfa nd yr after alfalfa 34 N Credit = MRTN (continuous corn) MRTN (rotated corn) Mallarino& Pecinovsky(2006)
11 Minnesota N Fertilizer Guidelines (Corn: $6.00/bu; N fertilizer: $0.45/lb N) Corn following corn: 146 to 162 lb N/acre Corn following soybean: 107 to 127 lb N/acre N credit for 1 st year corn after alfalfa: 150 lb N/acre for 4 plants/ft lb N/acre for 2 to 3 plants/ft 2 40 lb N/acre for 1 plant/ft 2 Randall et al. (Univ. of MN, 2008) Online N Rate Calculator (Iowa State Univ., 2011)
12 How does alfalfa provide an N credit to corn? Recovers excess soil nitrate-n Fixes atmospheric N (100 to 500 lb/acre/year) Maintains high N concentration (>2% N in roots and residue) Adds N to soil organic matter pool (50 to 150 lb N/acre/year) Harvest losses Stand losses Thin root turnover Root exudation Slide from Michael Russelle (USDA-ARS)
13 Corn Planting Date Trial Morris, MN McIntoshsilt loam Corn following corn 6 triple stack hybrids (93-to 98-day) 35,000 seeds/acre 6 planting dates: April 20 to June 7
14 2010 Planting Date Trial -Morris, MN Photo on June 14 April 20 May 19
15 Planting dates from April 20 to May 10 had similar crop progress at Morris, MN in 2010
16 1) No clear advantage to the longer-season hybrids. 2) Planting between April 20 and May 19 maximized yield. Morris, MN -2010
17 1) Harvest moisture did not differ much with hybrid maturity until planting was delayed beyond May 19. 2) When planting was delayed from April 20 to May 19, harvest moisture was 2% wetter. Morris, MN Harvested Oct. 20
18 Planting from April 21 to May 6 maximized yield. Lamberton, MN ( ) Data from Bruce Potter & Steve Quiring
19 Planting Depth: 0.75 vs. 2
20 Shallow planting = poor nodal root development
21 2 ½ Leaf Stages Behind
22 Plant that was 2 ½ leaf stages behind is late to silk

34 Key findings: 1) On average, yield maximized at 35,100 plants/acre. 2) Response to population was similar for all hybrids. 3) Yield averaged 7 and 15 bu/ac higher with 94-and 99-day hybrids compared to the 91-day hybrid. Morris, MN -2010

49 1) Yield was 7 and 14% higher with the 101-and 105-day hybrids compared to the 95-day hybrid. 2) Response to plant population similar for all hybrids. 3) On average, yield maximized at 34,300 plants/ac or higher.
50 Lamberton& Waseca, MN ( ) 2010) (averaged over 3 hybrids & 2 row widths)
51 Optimum SeedingRate Generally 34,000-36,000 seeds/ac, but can be higher. Does not differ much with planting date. Can sometimes be higher in narrow rows or with short-season fixed-ear hybrids. Is lower in dry environments.
52 Estimated Average Yield Increase forvarious Factors 57% = hybrid selection (best vs. worst) 13% = uniform emergence & growth vs. not 13% = crop rotation vs. continuous corn 8% = planting in late April vs. mid-may 6% = day vs day relative maturity 3% = final stand of 36,000 vs. 30,000 plants/acre 2% = 22-inch vs. 30-inch rows 2% = uniform within-row plant spacing vs. not
