Book Description
Excerpt from Lodging of Field Corn as Affected by Cultivation, Plant Population, Nitrogen Fertilizer, and Irrigation Treatment at the Irrigation Experiment Station, Prosser, Wash Lodging of field corn prior to harvest has become a serious problem in irrigated areas in central Washington since 1945. Lodging has been attributed to spindly stalks caused by greater plant populations per acre. The greater plant populations are the result of better stands from the use of seed treatments, control of soil pests, and higher seeding rates. The use of large quantities of commercial fertilizer also has been named as a contributory cause of lodging. At present, stands of plants per acre and applications of fertilizer contain ing 80 to 250 pounds of available nitrogen per acre are recommended practices for the growers in Washington State crop statistics in the Yakima Valley show yield increases of corn ranging from 20 to 40 percent during the 10-year period, 1946 - 56. Growers have reported that their fields often contain 50 to 60 percentage of lodged stalks. Mechanical harvesters cannot recover all the ears from lodged corn plants, thus resulting in a loss of grain to the farmer. N o lodging due to corn borer or lodging caused by stalk or root rots has been reported in irrigated fields of central Washington. The objectives of the studies on lodging of field corn were: (1) To determine the effects of cultivation, nitrogen fertilization, and plant population on yields and lodging of field corn; (2) to take certain plant measurements and to determine the force required to break the stalks mechanically at a certain stage of growth as a means of evaluating resistance to lodging; and (3) to determine the effects of certain irrigation treatments on lodging.

Book Description
Corn or maize is a crop that originated in Mexico and has spread all over the world as a major food crop. Sustainable production of a corn field crop as grain corn for feed, food and biofuels, as well as sweet corn for fresh market or processing, and as silage for high energy sources, requires scientific management of nutrients along with several other crop management practices such as proper plant population density, timely seeding and harvesting, soil water, weeds and pests control. Corn has become the major item in the diet of many tropical peoples, the main grain used for animal feed in temperate regions, as well as new stocks for many other purposes including recently used as feedstock for biofuels. Rapid expansion of grain based ethanol production in North America, has already caused concern about future food and feed supplies. This important book gathers the latest research from around the world in this dynamic field.
