Methodology
Channel 203-083VT2PRIB and Beck 5393V2P, both 103-day corn, were planted in 30-inch rows at 32000 seeds/ac in McCook County from May 2, 2023, to May 5, 2023. On June 12, 2023, Source DC was applied to the corn at 0.7 fl oz per acre as a foliar spray. The contents of this product are listed in the document below the yield maps. Source DC was applied in 5 strips 120 ft. wide. The corn was harvested from September 16, 2023 to September 19, 2023.
Results
Plants treated with Source DC in the medium yielding zones of the field yielded 5.3 bu/ac higher than corn that did not receive this product. This was less than 6.0 bu/ac and is therefore considered not to be significantly different at the 90% confidence level (Table 1). However, when the confidence level is dropped to 85% the results do become significantly different with the new confidence level being 5.0 bu/ac. To validate these results, additional testing of the product would be beneficial, as other trials have seen different results.
