Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Starter fertilizer placement increased plant height by 0.75 and 3.1 cm relative to the control.
- Intervention effect Starter fertilizer placement increased dry matter production by 83 kg ha −1 relative to the control.
- Intervention effect Starter fertilizer placement increased N and P uptake by 3.1 and 0.34 kg ha −1 relative to the control.
- Intervention effect Starter fertilizer placement did not increase whole season crop physiological parameters or grain yield.
- Intervention effect Planting timing did not significantly influence corn response to starter fertilizer placement across the locations.
- Recommendation Starter fertilizer application will not be necessary on P-sufficient soils for yield increase in eastern South Dakota.
