  1. Estimated and Soil Test Methods to Determine Supplemental N need after Flooding

    Author(s): Greg LaBarge, CPAg/CCA, Ed Lentz, CCA, Osler Ortez

    Determining the amount of supplemental nitrogen, if any, that is needed after saturated soil conditions is a difficult question to answer. Soil conditions such as texture, temperature, and length of saturation plus nitrogen application factors timing, placement, source, inhibitors used along with the growth stage of corn which impacts the amount of N already taken up, affect the decision to apply additional N.

  2. Managing Corn and Nitrogen with Water Excess Conditions

    Author(s): Osler Ortez, Greg LaBarge, CPAg/CCA, Alexander Lindsey, Wanderson Novais

    Excess water challenges plant growth and fitness in farming systems. Depending on the geography, dramatic fluctuations and extremes in weather patterns have been experienced in Ohio, the US, and other parts of the world (e.g., droughts, floods). Research has shown that such events have increased in frequency and intensity over the past 50 years, making farming more challenging.

    Author(s): Jamie Hampton, Taylor Dill

    The 2022 crop has already seen its fair share of stress. But with the forecast of a flash drought and much higher than normal June temperatures, we will be seeing some extra stress that we may normally anticipate for later in the growing season. Nevertheless, our crops are very resilient.
