Missouri 2005 Corn Performance Tests
There are three locations in the southeastern region of Missouri for irrigated corn and new technology corn tests. They are located in counties where a significant number of acres of irrigated corn are grown according to the Missouri Agricultural Statistics Service. Cultural practices vary from location to location, but tend to reflect those followed by farmers in the area. Planting dates were from April 18 to April 19 at the three locations with soil conditions being good at all locations. Rainfall was below normal for most of southeastern Missouri and temperatures were slightly above normal. Yields at all three southeastern irrigated locations were about normal for the region. Climatological information for the growing season (April 1 - August 31) for Southeast Missouri is summarized below and cultural practices for each site are in the subsequent table.
Average temperature = 72.3 degrees, 0.7 degrees above normal
