Field Trials
Iowa Corn Study
Announcement: A trial will be conducted to study the effects of varying amounts of Mineral Max AG on corn. Characteristics to be analyzed include the growth of young and mature plants, how well the plants can maintain their health when exposed to stresses, and how plant health can affect costs.
The study will be conducted with the University of Iowa in Ames, Iowa, one of the local community colleges in Ames, Iowa, and local area farmers. The study will begin when the next corn planting season begins. We are in the process of working out the final details.
The proposal is to divide 25 acres of corn into subsections. The corn in each subsection will be fertilized with varying amounts of Mineral Max AG applied by foliar spray. There will be a control subsection where Mineral Max AG is not applied at all. The corn in all subsections will be handled in the same manner, except for the amount of Mineral Max AG that is applied.
More to follow……stay tuned.
