| Popis: | Information from actual farm fields can help corn producers understand the value and importance of establishing uniform plant emergence and within row plant spacing. Thirty-eight fields planted with corn (Zea mays L.) by North Dakota producers were evaluated to determine effects of uneven plant emergence timing and within-row plant space variability, as well as identifying contributing factors. Rows within a planter’s width with the most variability yielded 6% less than the least variable. Individual ear weights decreased as the number of days after normal emergence (date when 50% of plant stand emerged) increased. Ears next to within-row gaps weighed 11% more than the normally spaced plants. Combined ears from both plants situated North Dakota Corn Utilization Council |
