Statement of Problem |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With a varable amount of moisture and heat, how do we know what the
best population to plant |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dryland corn in our area? The varaible weather means that need to
take several years worth of data. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Continue last 2 years study of a corn population study to learn what
is the best population we should be |
|
planting. Also is their anything to Skip row corn? Add this to the
curent study to compare results. |

Methodology |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We will plant Dryland corn from 15,000 - 22,500 seeds/A intervals.
Also add in 2 strips of skip row corn at |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
17,500 & 20,000 population for comparison. Full layout is on 2nd page
of report. We hope to try this more |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
than once with a second variety to see if there is a difference. |
