Introduction

Corn Production and Management

Modern technology, fluctuating export markets, changing USDA farm policies, and environmental regulations all contribute to corn growers' needs for careful planning and management to assure high yields and profitable production.

Fluctuating weather, varied rainfall amounts and stored soil moisture levels also require corn growers to make careful decisions as to type of tillage system, fertility management, seedbed preparation, weed control strategies, rotations, and corn pest management practices.

This guide has been developed to help you make timely management decisions. However, detailed and extensive details on any one area are not provided, because of limited space. More detailed and complete discussions of soil fertility, weed, disease, and insect control, hybrid performance, harvesting and storage are available in other Extension circulars as listed in the back pages.

The pesticide use suggestions in this guide are based on federal label clearances and on some state labels in North Dakota. Also suggestions are based on research information collected on North Dakota State University trials or trials in other states. All pesticides listed had a federal or state label at the time of this publication. Check all labels at time of use for the most current label registration.

The publishers and contributors do not assume any responsibility, make any guarantees, or offer any warranties in regards to the results obtained from use of the data appearing in this guide.
