It’s no secret that weeds rob nitrogen from grain corn, but this process has not been quantified until more recently.
In the latest ‘Focus on Corn’ webcast, titled “Nitrogen Management of Corn Related to Weeds,” Dr. Laura Lindsey, Associate Professor at The Ohio State University, discusses her research on nitrogen and weeds--and how it applies to the field.
The presentation helps the user answer three critical questions:
- How does nitrogen application rate and critical time of weed removal influence corn grain yield?
- How much nitrogen do weeds remove?
- What happens to nitrogen in weeds?
By the end of this presentation, the user will know more about the nitrogen uptake of weeds in a corn grain production system and how that nitrogen is eventually released back to the soil after weeds are controlled.
