Variable Rate Seeding Corn

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefit of variable rate seeding corn on typical soil systems in northern Ohio.

Objectives:

  1. assess variably applied corn seed population rates versus traditional seeding rates for varying field conditions.
  2. Use remote sensing and previous years yield data for determining seeding rate application map.
  3. Measure effectiveness of variable rate equipment application map versus "as applied" mapping.
  4. Educate producer on use of precision agriculture technologies.

Research Designs - 1) Replicated plot design and 2) whole field spatial analysis
