Abstract
Description
The article presents information regarding increased growth rates of corn via commercial fertilizer application. During the 1954 and 1955 seasons, 12 trials were conducted on a variety of soils in southeastern North Dakota, testing response of Nodak Hybrid 301 corn to commercial fertilizers. The most consistent reactions to fertilizer were faster early growth, earlier tasseling and silking, and advanced maturity of both- vegetative and grain parts.
