Methodology

Pioneer P0339Q, 103-day, hybrid corn was planted in 30-inch rows at 32,000 seeds/ac in McCook County on 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 on September 20, 2023, October 7, 2023, and October 9, 2023.

Results

Plants treated with Source DC yielded 10.1 bu/ac lower than corn that did not receive this product. This was a greater difference than 7.8 bu/ac and is therefore significantly different at the 90% confidence level (Table 1). To validate these results, additional testing of the product would be beneficial, as other trial have seen different results.
