The Next Advancement in Corn Yield?

A farmer asked this question on Crop Talk:

"What's the next step in taking my corn yields up? Currently have about 80acres that are all VH in P&K due to manure history. Have been yielding in the 200-220 on normal years. What is the next step in increasing yields? I Have high fertility, try to push the population with the right hybrids, using a fungicide/insecticide at VT. I would just like to know what everyone is doing to get to the next yield level. Seems like there is 100's of products that all give 5-7bu increases. Would like to try some different things on part of the farm this year. Long time reader and finally first post, located in eastern Iowa."

My reply:  "From my travels the past few years I would say the answer is 5 gallons of calcium nitrate applied with 5 gallons of structured water mixed with the 28 and sulfur. It is the next big advancement in corn yields. The U trough uses a very homogeneous, complete 17-9-7 on the other side of the row of 100-150 pounds of dry material. This all creates a huge burst of energy for the emerging corn, makes corn on corn look like corn on beans.


I am trying to apply calcium nitrate to my wheat right now. The yield trials showed 19 bu advantage over a bunch of farms and trials just putting the calcium and nitrate in with the 28 on corn. I called it 20 bushel eyeball in what I saw compared to the rows beside it that did not get that treatment. It's one small step in a bunch of steps to increase corn yields."

I've talked about the power of the Ca, S and Nitrate ions here.  When we address these nutrients in such a concentrated blend near the corn plant, great things happen.  I have also been reporting what I've see regarding that the past two years.

We can take our corn crop to the next level.  We don't have to be in this 3 year downhill trend like soybeans.

What did Francis have that no one else did?  He had a soil pit, rhizosphere, corn roots and corn yields like no one else I've ever seen.  We can do better.

  1. I wonder where the point is that someone says "that's enough." All the volume in the world is no good without nutrition.

  2. That's a really good question. You would think if a hillbilly in southern Ohio could see what's happening, the modern world would already know?

    I guess we need to give ourselves and our ancestors some credit. We come from a long line of survivors. It's easy to see how they had to wallow in their endurance with little to work with but they did some simple things that worked.

    That's what calcium nitrate is, a simple thing that works. No wonder orchardists and vegetable farmers have been using this for 100 years. Now that our crops are sick from being selected only for yield or trait in worn out soil that washed to the Gulf, a little dab does wondrous things.

    The Brix test will help me figure out how to eat and produce healthier food.

    The food on the grocery shelves isn't very nutrient dense at all, it's a lot of fluff and bluster.

  3. Many people argue that eating too many plants grown with commercial fertilizers or pesticides
    can cause health problems. Due to the popularity of organic gardening, organic potting soil and compost
    are available at most garden centers. Again, using companion planting techniques will help
    your organic garden flourish.

  4. With a 60 day maturity, turnips need to be in the ground by August 15.

  5. The city of Danbury's metro options into NYC, give anyone in New Milford, Newtown, Bethel, New Fairfield and Sherman options for travelling south. Make sure that you don't end up with a look of patches by checking to see that the glitter falls all
    the way around the edges of a newly-painted area. However, both the methods have their own pros and cons.
