Nutrient uptake and partitioning in high-yielding corn
… and below ground insects assimilate and utilize higher quantities of mineral nutrients. The central objective of this thesis was to quantify nutrient uptake, removal, and partitioning in elite commercial germplasm grown under modern management practices. Data from a set of hybrids at two …

Innovative foliar micronutrient sources in high-yielding corn environments
"Under high-yield conditions, adequate nutrient availability often limits corn (Zea mays L.) growth and productivity. Nitrogen (N), potassium (K), and boron (B) accumulation mainly occurs before flowering compared to the uptake of phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and zinc (Zn), which primarily occurs …

Analysis of management factor contributions to high-yielding corn production systems
… individual and cumulative contribution to a high-yield corn production system. The five management factors (non-nitrogen (N) fertility, N fertility, hybrid trait, plant population, and fungicide application) were evaluated by establishing 2 levels (traditional and advanced) of each factor. …

Soil-Specific, Late-Season Nitrogen and Potassium Applications to Increase Corn Yields in the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain
Corn grain yields can be limited by nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) availability on sandy coastal plain soils when soil moisture is adequate for high yields. This study evaluated irrigated corn grain yield response to late-season (just prior to tassel) N and K fertilizer applications, and enabled …

Corn tissue nutrient response related to soil health and fertility
Nutrient uptake in corn (Zea mays L.) is influenced by many different factors which include properties of soil health. The push for increasing soil health has raised the question of how soil health and fertility measurements could be combined to improve nutrient management decisions. Attention to …

Optimizing nutrient availability for high-yield corn production
… Elevated yield levels of modern hybrids require higher amounts of nutrients and management to sustainably produce higher yield levels. Throughout a growing season, there are several factors that affect nutrient availability to plants, ultimately influencing how well a plant can partition …
