Norrow Row Corn Only
For Top Producers
Unless you are doming for
top yields, narrow cam row
platoteig probably won’t help
your per-aaie average veny
much
Two ye t rs of testis. says a
University of Maryland - agrono
milst, show that “supernal'lly
folr narrow rows is dependent
qpoir yrelc. levels well over
100 bushc's per acre”
Dr R G Rothgeib set out to
compare three conn. row widths
(20, 30 and 40 inches) and two
ptont population rates (15,680
«md 24,120 seeds pea acre) —all
with ami without supplemen
tal jlpngalt.cn
Rothgeb laid out eight blocks
—four to be watered and four
to get o'nily natural rai/nMI.
Bach oif these blocks was sub
divided unto six plots so that
'he could check all row widths
and population rallies AM the
plots were limed and leutihzed
uinirtomily ro that differences
in yield could noil be caused
by va'i-yiing plaint food lecels
Because boi'h the 1965 aim!

1966 growing seasons wene dry,
ail the r 'i;gated plots yielded
higher than the corresponding
uin-i'rngaled plots.
In 1965, Rothgeb sand, the
'highcii ptunt populations on the
nonvrrigatrd plots outyi'clded
the Lower plaint populations by
about 16 bushels per acre
However, dinning the more
droughty 1966 season, the low
er plant populations had a
slight yield edge In the irri
gated plots, the higher popu
lations produced “significantly
higher” yields than the low;
population plots both in 1965
alnd 1966
During tne 1966 season, row
width seemed to make very
little differ em-e in yield be
caiusie moisture was the limit
ing factor But on the basis of
ithe two-yea i test period, it ap
pea/rs tha t yield superiority for
narrow rows depends upon
high yield levels—well above
100 bushels pen acre, Rothgeh
concludes
The woild is too full of peo
ple explain'™'? things they do
