  2. Isolation Requirements for Identity Preserved (IP) Non-GMO Corn Production

    https://agcrops.osu.edu/node/4427

    Managing pollen drift is an important consideration in the production of specialty corns and non-GMO (non-transgenic) corn as IP grain crops. Corn is a cross-pollinating crop in which most pollination results from pollen dispersed by wind and gravity. Alt ...

  3. Specialty Corns

    https://agcrops.osu.edu/node/4426

    The type of corn most widely planted in Ohio and across the U.S. is yellow dent. High grain and silage yield potential, high feed value, and availability of adapted superior hybrids account for the widespread use of yellow dents. Yellow dents have the hig ...

  4. Corn Pest Management

    https://agcrops.osu.edu/node/4424

    Weed Control  A number of factors need to be considered when developing weed control programs for corn, including soil type, weeds, weeds present, crop rotation and budget. No single control program effectively handles the various weed problems that arise ...

  5. Row Width

    https://agcrops.osu.edu/node/4420

    Since the early 1970s, average row spacing in Ohio decreased from about 35 inches to about 30 inches in 2015. This reduction in row spacing coincided with an increase in average plant population from approximately 18,000 plants per acre to nearly 30,000 p ...

  6. Seeding Depth

    https://agcrops.osu.edu/node/4419

    The appropriate planting depth varies with soil and weather conditions. For normal conditions, plant corn 1.5- to 2-inches deep to ensure adequate moisture uptake and seed-soil contact, provide frost protection and allow for adequate root development. Sha ...

  7. Disease Resistance and Tolerance

    https://agcrops.osu.edu/node/4416

    Hybrids should be selected for resistance or tolerance to stalk rots, foliar diseases and ear rots, particularly those that have occurred locally. Seed dealers should provide information on hybrid reactions to specific diseases in Ohio (Table 4-21). See t ...

  8. Stalk Quality and Lodging

    https://agcrops.osu.edu/node/4415

    Hybrids with poor stalk quality should be avoided for grain production even if they show outstanding yield potential. Hybrid stalk quality as measured by stalk lodging (stalk breakage below the ear) at harvest has improved greatly over the last 20 years. ...

  9. Yield Potential and Stability

    https://agcrops.osu.edu/node/4414

    Choose hybrids that have produced consistently high yields across a number of locations and/or years. The Ohio Corn Performance Tests (OCPT) indicate that hybrids of similar maturity vary in yield potential by as much as 40 bushels per acre or more. Choos ...

  10. Days to Maturity Rating System

    https://agcrops.osu.edu/node/4412

    The most common maturity rating system is the days to maturity system. This system does not reflect actual calendar time between planting and maturity―a 106-day hybrid, for example, does not actually mature 106 days after planting. A days to maturity rati ...
