CORN PRODUCTS

Renk Seed has been breeding corn since the 1960s, so we thoroughly understand the breeding process. Every year we evaluate 80,000+ data points from our own breeding material, as well as the breeding material of our strategic partners. We plant plots throughout the Midwest and Great Plains to expose our genetics to many different environments. This helps us select the best products and ensure that when you plant Renk Seed, you will be getting the most effective and stable performance.

CORN MANAGEMENT

Modern corn hybrids are selected and bred to perform even under high-stress conditions. Maximizing the quality of the environment the hybrid is planted in while minimizing yield-robbing stresses creates a successful year. You can’t control the weather but, beyond that, there are a few things you can have a say in. Good management quickly pays for itself through increased yield.

PRE-PLANT

FERTILITY NEEDS
Make certain that your fertility and soil pH match your yield expectations. Test your soil to know exactly what you need and follow the recommendations. Remember that nitrogen requirements for corn on corn are significantly higher than for corn on rotated ground.

WAIT FOR “FIT” FIELD CONDITIONS
Research has shown that in most years earlier planted corn will outperform later planted corn. This should give you a desire to get the seed in as early as possible. With modern seed treatments, soil temperature is not as big of a factor as it once was, but having a good seed bed is a must. Excessive soil moisture and poor soil tilth have major impacts on seed germination, early growth and seedling health. Soil compaction and poor seed-to-soil contact set the crop up for poor stands and weak, late emerging plants.

REVIEW HYBRID POSITIONING INFORMATION
Make sure you have the right hybrids selected for the right ground. Ground with limited yield potential makes it hard to justify the more expensive traited hybrids. Corn on corn ground usually requires hybrids with stronger roots and stalks along with insect protection. Also, some hybrids have regional tendencies. Your Renk Seed representative is your resource in getting the right products in the right ground. A great product that is not positioned accurately may only perform as well as an average product, or even worse.

AT PLANTING

PLANTER AND MONITOR ADJUSTMENTS AND CALIBRATION
Spend the time and the money here for accurate, consistent drop. An accurate population of evenly distributed seed without doubles and skips is critical for maximum yields. Even if no changes are necessary, it is worth peace of mind to know that there will not be a yield bottleneck.

PLANTING DEPTH
Check your planting depth often, not just when you enter your first field, but every time you begin planting in a different field condition (soil type, crop rotation, tillage type, etc). Each of these impacts the depth of seed placement. Keeping the depth between 1.75″-2.25″ is critical to a uniform distribution of evenly growing plants as well as keeping the root system of the plants deep enough to be effective and strong.

CORRECT SPEED
No other way to say it: Speed kills. Planting at speeds greater than the recommended zone for your planter causes planter bounce which results in uneven seed placement. This dramatically increases the numbers of doubles and gaps; these lead to unproductive or underproductive plants. Speeding may cost 10-20 bushels per acre yield loss.

GROWING SEASON

SCOUT YOUR FIELDS EARLY AND OFTEN
It is hard to fix or head off problems if you are not actively looking for them. It is important to check for crusting, weeds, diseases and insects starting shortly after planting and continuing up to harvest.

CONTROL THOSE WEEDS
Just remember that weeds taller than 4″ will reduce your yield. Starting clean with a burn-down or plowed field helps the corn get ahead of the weeds and gives a good window for follow up spraying as needed.

CONTROL FUNGAL DISEASES
Fungal diseases can be a significant yield drag and need to be scouted for. Corn on corn acres tend to have a higher rate of incidence, along with fields that have shown a history of disease. Often a folial treatment can work wonders. Remember you normally need to order fungicides and contract application early.

CONTROL INSECTS
Using genetic traits to control Corn Borers, Rootworms, Ear Worms and Western Bean Cutworms is clearly the best insurance against damage from these yield-robbing insects. Your Renk Seed representative can prescribe the best trait options for your operation. Those not using traited insect control hybrids need to spray insecticides to control explosions of insect pest populations.

CORN SILAGE
Our silage hybrids are rated based on information obtained from our in-house silage evaluations, independent trials and originator information. Samples of these hybrids were analyzed by an independent lab. We continue to evaluate all options of silage products available to us including leafy genetics, soft endosperm hybrids, low lignin hybrids and other silage specific hybrids in our effort to provide you with high quality corn silage choices. As a Wisconsin-based leader in offering premium genetics, we are committed to providing well-adapted, high-quality silage products. For best results, use Renk Advantage Inoculant.
