Agronomic Update – May 3, 2020 Pioneer, we have….emergence!

Pioneer, we have….emergence!   First planted corn is starting to emerge.   Here are a couple of photos from a plot planted April 21st.   The first photo shows a newly emerged plant on P1366AML and the second photo shows our emergence trial.  The flags represent emerged plants.  We will be checking this plot each day and flagging emerged plants with a different colored flag to mark the different emergence dates.  We will follow up on this throughout the year and show results at our field days later in the summer.  We are tracking five different hybrids in this plot with different stress emergence ratings.  The flags in the foreground are from P1563AM, then P1366AML and the bunch towards the back is from P1138AML.  All three hybrids are good at getting ‘out-of-the-ground’ early.   Almost all of the P1138 is up already.   Look for more updates as the growing season progresses.  Have a great week!  Stay safe!
