Title: CULTURAL PRACTICES AFFECTING MATURITY AND YIELD OF CORN (ZEA MAYS) FOR WHOLE-PLANT SILAGE IN SHORT-SEASON AREAS

Failure of the plants to reach physiological maturity results from early fall frosts. The effects of variations in planting dates, plant densities, fertilizer and manure treatments, weeds, harvest dates, and other cultural practices on the yield and maturity of silage corn are discussed.Read More
