1. Physiological Repsonses Of Corn To Variable Seeding Rates In Landscape-Scale Strip Trials

Many producers now have the capability to vary seeding rates on-the-go. Methods are needed to develop variable rate seeding approaches in corn but require an understanding of the physiological response of corn to soil-landscape and weather conditions. Interplant competition fundamentally differs at varied seeding rate and may affect corn leaf area, transpiration, plant morphology, and assimilate partitioning. Optimizing these physiological effects with optimal seeding rates in a site-specific... D.B. Myers, N.R. Kitchen, K.A. Sudduth, B.J. Leonard
