Hybrid Selection and Agronomic Management to Lessen the Continuous Corn Yield Penalty

Yield reductions occur when corn (Zea mays L.) is continuously grown compared to when it is rotated with soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]; primarily due to soil nitrogen availability, corn residue…

Plant Population and Fungicide Economically Reduced Winter Wheat Yield Gap in Kansas

Identifying a Plant Population and Fungicide Economically Reduced Winter Wheat Yield Gap in Kansas and development of management strategies impacting wheat yields is crucial to maximize Yw and reduce this large YG in non-irrigated wheat production systems.

Managing Density Stress to Close the Maize Yield Gap

Narrow rows and the combination of P-S-Zn and K-B fertility were the factors that provided the most significant yield increases over the standard control, demonstrating the apparent yield gap between traditional farm practices and attainable yield through enhanced agronomic management.

Does Narrow-Row Corn Production Influence Plants’ Response to Foliar Inputs?

To determine if intensive management involving application of foliar N at R1 with or without a fungicide can help increase grain yield in narrow-row systems, a field study was conducted with two hybrids during 2016–2018 at two Ohio locations.

Residue and Agronomic Management to Reduce the Continuous Corn Yield Penalty

Combining mechanical and agronomic managements can reduce corn residue and the CCYP for more sustainable crop production.

Yield and Production Gaps in Rainfed Wheat, Barley, and Canola in Alberta

Yield gaps are identified and suggestions to improve efficiency in crop production are offered and genetic selection with optimal crop management could increase yields of wheat, barley, and canola significantly.

Comparing High- and Low-Input Management on Soybean Yield and Profitability in Michigan

Increased commodity prices, commercial marketing, and convenience have encouraged soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] producers to adopt high-input management systems for maximum grain yield regardless…

Response of western corn rootworm-infested corn to nitrogen fertilization and plant density

The objectives of this 2-yr experiment were to determine the effect of three N rates and three plant density treatments on dry-matter accumulation and partitioning of corn plants infested with three levels of western corn rootworm.

Water Deficit Effects on Corn. II. Grain Components1

Trends in the percentage of developed kernels in each of three ear sections indicated that the ability of kernels to compete for products of photosynthesis correlated with the comparative age of the ovule-or kernel at the time of water deficit.

Closing yield gaps through nutrient and water management

A global-scale assessment of intensification prospects from closing ‘yield gaps’, the spatial patterns of agricultural management practices and yield limitation, and the management changes that may be necessary to achieve increased yields finds that global yield variability is heavily controlled by fertilizer use, irrigation and climate.
