Why do we use a corn starter fertilizer?

At Crop Excellence®, we believe that specialty products are value-added and can be the simple solution to many on-the-farm problems.

By Crop Excellence® Staff

When evaluating a corn starter program look for the following:

  • Uniform emergence (same day ideal)
  • More roots than shoots (3:1 ideal)
  • Uniform Tassel (pollen shed and silk present same time for all plants)
  • Hasten Maturity (7-10 days earlier)
  • Drier corn at harvest (1-3 points drier)
