Projected corn, soybean yield versus trend line yields in 2013
2013-09-18 21:48:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
Source: University of Illinois On Sept. 12, the USDA released revised projections of 2013 state corn and soybean yields. Also released were 2013 projected crop reporting district (CRD) yields for Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Texas. These projected yields are compared to 2013 trend yields to assess which areas of the country are having better relative corn and soybean yields than other areas. read more

Nitrogen Efficiency, Application Timing Increase Corn Yields
2013-04-22 22:29:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
Todays hybrids produce more corn yield per unit of nitrogen than older hybrids, according to a new Purdue study. Modern hybrids absorb more than half of their final N content after flowering. In fact, they absorb 27% more total N from the soil after flowering than hybrids grown between 1950 and 1990, says a newly released Purdue study. Todays hybrids absorb more grain-N during grain fill, as opposed to N being remobilized from plant leaves and stems. The higher amount and duration of N uptake contributed to better grain yields, even as actual grain N concentrations decline; hybrids are much more efficient. But as corn plants increase N use, they increase their uptake of other nutrients. read more
