A good uniform corn stand at the correct population is essential for high corn yields.\u00a0 Table 4, which is in UGA Corn Production Guide, shows the length of row required at various row widths to calculate 1\/1000 acre.\u00a0 For example if you plant corn on a 38 inch row measure 13 feet and 9 inches to obtain 1\/1000th of an acre.  After the distance is established,  count the number of corn plants in that distance and multiply that number by 1000.  This will be your plant population per acre.\u00a0 Do this procedure in numerous places across the field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"675\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/colquittag\/files\/2020\/04\/Capture5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/colquittag\/files\/2020\/04\/Capture5.jpg 675w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/colquittag\/files\/2020\/04\/Capture5-300x152.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> In general, corn&nbsp;will emerge between 90 and 120 GDUs in the spring.&nbsp; After emergence a new&nbsp; leaf collar will appear after approximately 84 GDUs until V10 to&nbsp;V 11.

Below is a table showing the GDUs from March 20 to April 1, 2020.  This data is from the UGA Weather Station located at the Expo.  If shows we have accumulated 269 GDUs during this period of time.  The last three years we accumulated a range of 106 to 234 GDUs during the same period of time.   The corn ranged from V1 to V2 this week at the Expo plot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"213\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/colquittag\/files\/2020\/04\/ddu-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/colquittag\/files\/2020\/04\/ddu-1.jpg 625w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/colquittag\/files\/2020\/04\/ddu-1-300x102.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/colquittag\/files\/2020\/04\/corn-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/colquittag\/files\/2020\/04\/corn-3.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/colquittag\/files\/2020\/04\/corn-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/colquittag\/files\/2020\/04\/corn-3-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Corn plot at the Expo Week of March 30, 2020<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like more information on corn growth stages please go to the link below. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agry.purdue.edu\/Ext\/corn\/news\/timeless\/VStageMethods.html\">https:\/\/www.agry.purdue.edu\/Ext\/corn\/news\/timeless\/VStageMethods.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks and have a great day&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The area corn crop this week ranges from being planted to the V3-V4 stage of development.\u00a0 Growers need to evaluate their corn stands.
