this willi tworow barley if weeds are a problem they will be more of a problem under early planting conditions as the crop does not have the top growth to compete as well to overcome this the farmer must be right on top with his weed control broadleaf weeds must be sprayed at the right ttage weed control in previous years should also have been good to avoid the serious annual grjss problems that can occur it matter littlewhether you plant small or large corn seed it will emerge at the same time produce at healthy a pbnt and give the sime yield however depth of seeding affected both the length of time needed for plants to emerge and the final plant population particularly when seeding it done under cool conditions best results come from seeding corn between one and a half and two inches deep under early planting or cool soil conditions with later plantings in warm soil it may be necessary to place the seed deeper than two inches to get it located in enough moisture for rapid gcimination there is a common tendency for concern by farmers when a few corn seeds are teen on the surface at a result moic pressure is put on the planting disc or shoe and then in parts of the field where the ground it looser the teed goet too deep often at much at six inches this can seriously affect the rate of emergence and ilia final stand of corn particularly under cool slow growing
