promote rapid emergence (5 to 7 days). Optimum seed placement varies from 1 to 2 inches deep. Appropriate planting depth is critical for optimal emergence. Cold, dry, and deep planting can delay emergence for several days. V1 – First-Leaf One leaf with collar visible (structure found at the base of the leaf). The first leaf in corn has a ...

Uneven Emergence in Corn (NCR344)
corn.agronomy.wisc.eduThe most common cause of uneven emergence in corn is dry soil. If the soil is too dry at or shortly after planting, seedlings will emerge at different times. Emergence time may vary between parts of fields, from one row to the next, or from one plant to the next. Soil moisture can differ within a field

Soil Calcium to Magnesium Ratios—Should You Be …
corn.agronomy.wisc.edurange. The Ca:Mg ratio seldom will be the dominant factor determining calcium and magnesium uptake by plants. This was shown by the small variations in the tissue Ca:Mg ratio when the soil Ca:Mg ratio was varied (table 2). Table 2. Effect of varying Ca:Mg ratios on yield and calcium and magnesium levels in alfalfa.
