Enhancing mineral nutrient availability and corn productivity with biostimulants
Corn (Zea mays L.) production has greatly increased since corn was first domesticated some 7,000 years ago (Beadle, 1980). Generating improved cultivars with novel breeding schemes and genetics in combination with enhanced management factors and technologies has resulted in the highest corn grain …

Agronomic management to improve corn productivity under high-yielding environments
Corn (Zea mays L.) grain yields have increased significantly in the U.S. since the 1930s largely due to genetic improvement and better crop management. Three important management decisions a corn grower makes today are: 1) which hybrid to plant, 2) what population to plant, and 3) what nitrogen (N) …

Maximizing corn yield potential through proper rate, placement, and timing of nitrogen fertility
Corn (Zea mays L.) has been a large part of American agriculture dating back to 1000 BC when flint corn arrived from Mexico, followed by dent corn in 1500 AD. Over the years, the improvement in these cultivars with better breeding methods and genetics in combination with crop management factors has …

Evaluating diagnostic tools for phosphorus and sulfur management in corn
… (P) and sulfur (S), is critical for maximizing corn productivity. This study aimed at enhancing corn production by evaluating diagnostic tools for nutrient management and optimizing fertilization practices, focusing on P and S nutrients. Studies were conducted across 26 sites in Kansas. The …

Agronomic management and biostimulants to increase corn and soybean productivity
Corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] have been in production in the Corn Belt together since the 1920s. Improved cultivars and crop management has allowed for ever-increasing corn and soybean grain yields. Management factors that have played a big role in the yield increases are …

Improved agronomic management of corn and soybean to increase productivity
… of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and corn (Zea mays L.) has increased nearly five-fold and seven-fold, respectively, since the United States Department of Agriculture started recording grain yields for both crops. Despite these staggering increases, there is still potential to increase …
