Long-term effects of fertilization, crop rotation and weather factors [temperature, precipitation, net radiation, maximum (potential) evapotranspiration (ET) and corn heat units (CHU)] on the sustainability of corn grain yields were investigated over 35 yr. Treatments included fertilized and unfertilized continuous com and rotation corn-oats-alfalfa-alfalfa. The fertilized rotation corn treatment produced the greatest corn grain yields (15% moisture content) with an average of 7.75 t ha−1 followed by the fertilized continuous corn treatment with 6.02 t ha−1. Fertilization increased grain yield for continuous corn treatments by 279% and increased grain yields in the rotational corn treatments by 70%. Corn grain yields increased with time with the fertilized rotation treatment, remained relatively constant with the fertilized continuous corn and decreased with the unfertilized treatments. Growing season precipitation was the only weather variable tested which was significantly related to corn grain yield. Precipitation in July was proportional to corn grain yield for all fertilized treatments. Weather variation played little role for unfertilized corn. Continuous corn production was sustained (yields did not decrease with time) when fertilizer was added. There was a considerable yield advantage with fertilized corn when grown in a rotation compared with fertilized continuous corn. Fertilization and crop rotation practices increased and buffered corn yields. Key words: Long-term, corn, yield, fertilization, rotation, weather

The objective of this study was to determine the effects on grain yield of growing cultivars in mixtures of different proportions. Two maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids, Pride 116 and United 106, were grown for 2 yr in pure stand and in seven mixtures of different proportions (7:1, 6:2, 5:3, 4:4, 3:5, 2:6, 1:7) at plant densities of 61 500, 99 400, and 136 000 plants per hectare. The total number of mixture combinations was 42, i.e. 2 years × three densities × seven proportions. All but one mixture yielded as expected based on the yield of component hybrids in pure stand. The higher yielding hybrid (United 106) yielded significantly less grain per plant in mixtures than in pure stand. The lower yielding hybrid (Pride 116) yielded more in mixtures than in pure stand, although the difference was not significant. These data support previous observations that the ability of a hybrid to yield in pure stands is not necessarily related to its ability to yield in mixtures. High plant densities appear to enhance the likelihood of interactions occurring among hybrids. For United 106, the number of proportions yielding less grain per plant than in pure stand was highly significant at the two higher plant densities. For Pride 116, the number of proportions yielding more than in pure stand was highly significant at the highest plant density.Key words: Corn, grain yield, mixtures of different proportions, high plant densities, Zea mays

Adequate fertility combined with effective weed management is important in maximizing corn (Zea mays L.) grain yield. Corn uptake of nitrogen (N) is dependent upon many factors including weed species and density and the rate and formulation of applied N fertilizer. Understanding interactions among corn, applied N, and weeds is important in developing management strategies. Field studies were conducted in North Carolina to compare corn and weed responses to urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), sulfur-coated urea (SCU), and composted poultry litter (CPL) when a mixture of Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Wats.) and large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis L.) was removed with herbicides at heights of 8 or 16 cm. These respective removal timings corresponded with 22 and 28 days after corn planting or V2 and V3 stages of growth, respectively. Differences in N content in above-ground biomass of corn were noted early in the season due to weed interference but did not translate into differences in corn grain yield. Interactions of N source and N rate were noted for corn grain yield but these factors did not interact with timing of weed control. These results underscore that timely implementation of control tactics regardless of N fertility management is important to protect corn grain yield.

Experiments were conducted from 1989 to 1991 to determine the critical period of johnsongrass control in field corn. Maximum weed-infested and weed-free periods of 0 to 20 wk after corn emergence were maintained by either hand weeding or nicosulfuron application. Interference duration effects on corn grain yield were not affected by johnsongrass control methods. The critical period for johnsongrass control was determined to be between 3 and 6.5 wk after corn emergence to avoid losses above 5% of yield produced by full-season weed-free corn.
