Selecting Twin-Row Corn Hybrids for the Solar Corridor Crop System
No-tillers who want more on wide-row corn are in luck. Hybrid selection is the key to success in wide rows, according to C. LeRoy Deichman, who pioneered the Solar Corridor Crop System (SCCS) more than 15 years ago. The agronomist explains the fundamentals of his twin-row 60-inch planting system, demonstrates the yield variability between hybrids, shares data that shows the yield bump associated with targeted hybrids in the SCCS and explains how to select hybrids that will respond favorably to the system. His research plots showed select hybrids in 60-inch twin-row corn outyielded 30-inch row corn. Learn how to select the right corn hybrid to use in wide rows for your conditions.
