Corn Date of Planting and Maturity in Northeast Iowa

Authors: Brian Lang (Iowa State University) , Ken Pecinovsky (Iowa State University)

Abstract

Historically, planting dates can get delayed due to weather and wet soil conditions during the early growing season. Replanting is sometimes necessary due to soil surface crusting from heavy rain events. There always is the question on what maturities of corn should be selected at various planting dates during the planting season for optimal grain moisture and yield. This trial was setup to determine what maturities are well suited for northeast Iowa, but also how maturity selection should be adjusted as planting dates get pushed into late spring.
