2024 Corn after Corn Test Plot Results

We put our 105-116 day Dekalb corn hybrids to the test with corn after corn planting conditions to better understand hybrid disease and stress tolerance.  The plot had 230 lbs of total N applied from Humic treated Urea.  We also used our 100% ortho 10-10-10 Moss Fulvic Pro mix as in-furrow starter at 4.5 gallons at planting.  We also banded Soil Biotics PHK 100 Humic acid at 10 lbs/acre thru the insecticide boxes.  The plot was not sprayed with fungicide to show hybrid tolerance to foliar diseases.   Tar Spot was recorded in all hybrids on September 3rd.  No hybrids in the plot died off early this year from Tar Spot.  We had no measurable rain events after the Tar Spot had infected all of the hybrids.
