RESEARCH
UPDATE
(Continued from Pago 14)
Increasing population to
27,667 plants per acre results
in a slight yield increase but
does not cover the additional
seed cost. At 31,778 plants per
acre, seed cost is much higher
while yield is depressed.
Although yields were not sig
nificantly different, plant
population can have a substan
tial effect on profitability as
seed cost goes up rapidly for
little or no increase in yield.
This data indicates that maxi
mum economic com yields on
Cecil County’s silt loam soils
are likely to be obtained at
plant populations between
24,000 and 28,000 plants per
acre. This project was made
possible with the support of
Jonathan Quinn, our fanner
cooperator and Pioneer Brand
Products who provided the
seed and the weigh wagon.
