Poor Com Stand Results
In Waste -- From Haste
Thousands of farmers will
shoot for com yields this
summer of 100 to 125 bushels
of shelled corn per acre. With
more fertilizer, better hy
brids, proper weed control
and a break in the weather,
many will make their goal.
However, ali these good!
good management practices
are worth very little if a
good stand of com is not ob-,
tained.
Two of the worst culprits
that cause poor com standsi
are (1) Improper fertilizer
placement when planting the
com and (2) Driving that
tractor too fast when plant
ing.
If the fertilizer can be se
en laying on top of the gro
und after planting is done,
he says, it’s time to throw
away those old split boot
planter boots and visit a farm
machinery dealer.
He may be able to make a
conversion kit which will
place the fertilizer two inch
es to the side of the seed and

two inches below.
Research has shown that
if seed com producer’s plant
er plate recommendations are
followed, the tractor will not
be driven over three miles
an hour when p’antmg.
The plate recommended by
the seed com producer was
36/64 inch seed cell length.
They shot for 20,000 plants,
per acre.
At three miles per acre
they obtained 19,400 seed
drop, but at five miles per
hour they obtained 16,000 se
eds dropped per acere.
When the seed cell length
was lengthened to 40/64 in.,
the five mile per hour speed
gave them 21,200 seed drop)
and seven miles per hour
dropped 20,200 seeds per
acre.
Most important, is to check
the corn planter for seed drop
on a prepared seedbed*.
Also be sure to check the
“knock out” to see if the sp
ring is strong enough to eject
the seed from the cells.
