Corn Planting Depth

Find out why you should use today's planting technology to get your corn seeds at a precise depth.

[@davechristensen8299]

We plant 3" deep in dryland Montana. The seeds need the moisture which is deeper. We plant Painted Mountain Corn which is from Indian and Homesteader decent which is very hardy.

Wow, planting “tip of the kernel” down?Who knew?! You learn something new everyday from KZbinrs.😃

[@oe542]

It’s best if you orient the seed to the northeast.

[@derrickrr5516]

That planter will only cost $300K. But no worries, yields will be up 3% so it’ll pay for itself in 30 years.

Always bringing useful and feasible information for everybody!

[@mikelloyd2013]

myla adriano you didn’t say what went wrong with your corn crop. These guys are really good about answering specific questions. Perhaps you could grow a small plot that would be easier to manage and learn what works in your area. Don’t be afraid to ask advice of other farmers that have been successful. I think most farmers are very willing to share their knowledge.

[@robertreznik9330]

The first time I grew corn was 1968.. The average yield was only 167 bu over 400 acres. The first year I payed close attention to the details, that was a good start. An old friend gave me many pointers but having a degree in agronomy helped. Growing corn is much the same as 50 years ago. The population and fertilizer is the same but higher yields due to better genetics. Now we have better tools and growing corn is much easier.

[@farmerpete0768]

Thanks for the video, have you got a video about your grazing timing on the triticale? Thanks

[@TheRobertralph]

There are so many benefits to planting 2" down. We have experimented and always get a great stand at 2" planting depth.

[@airesrebelo6242]

Bem explicado, melhor impossível 👌

[@quintonhurst2415]

Thanks for the advice.

[@jeaniewilliam1749]

Thanks for your great information about the Ideal Depth of the sweet corn seeds. And how about the length to plant them? Thanks again...💋👍

[@chrisbrown7175]

Does this apply to most plants or corn specifically

[@jets8991]

well the video is about corn so it's definitely corn specific, however it's kind of a good baseline for most plants. so many plants out there youd be better off researching specific plants

[@kymkymkym2048]

Thats hog weed and you need you need to get it out by the root otherwise it will keep coming back, however ther is a 3 pronged tool that will remove it or when you are before ploughing the field there is a specific hog weed killer but it will come back in 3 years, even if you take it out by the root as the birds will drop the seeds.... if you want to know more then i can help you.... Kym for Scotland and thanks for the tip for the corn

[@jthepickle7]

Tip down @ 2 1/8" it is! - only planting 250 seeds for seed saving of Golden Bantam. Thanks!

[@sureshramesh503]

What is the maximum depth of corn plant nd minimum depth of full matured corn plant

[@SMARTAgriTech]

It's a wonderful Information. What's the reason of Pencil or Runt plants?

[@huntergiron2388]

I always plant between 6-12 inches. No adverse effects on yield or emergence or anything like that. Corn is more resilient against wind and can access more water this way. Try it.

[@predragmarkovicforest464]

I planted 8cm /3,2in. and it's the best for me...5cm is to shalow and the faster corn "pop out" from ground the root is weaker developed especially if it's very hot.

[@oe542]

6-12??? Come on you know it’s more like 5 1/4

[@danfalen7104]

So what is the secret to ZERO weeds? That is the real amazing thing here!

[@oe542]

Mega big chemical companies as well as seed companies and their molecular science.

[@itsmepopsicklesyeet7980]

I think baking soda

[@kymkymkym2048]

If you dont like the plant its classified as a weed in Scotland and the more you mowwer the grass the less it will come through or dig out by the root xx

Hi ... please help me .. we have done seed sowing in soil ... but the seedling is. Turning yellow in color ... we have sow the seed in one acre !! Please help with the cause of yellowness

[@zeusmacafee5097]

Nutrient deficiency is my guess. Probably needs more nitrogen. Depending on how yellow it is it may need a lot. Chicken loiter is a good source but it will raise your soil ph

[@zone2995]

how deep should the tilled soil be? Please don't start talking about no till. my soil is a clay brick.

Have you tried applying green manure to improve the soil?

[@Bare36]

Same depth as you seed.no need to till deeper
