In this video, Pioneer Field Agronomist Derek Bowman shows you how he evaluates corn emergence. When it comes to emergence, Derek evaluates plants based on three factors: overall stand establishment, stand uniformity, and early growth vigor. He also shows you how to growth stage your crop as well. Derek will also show you a real example of corn emergence in a field, and go step by step as he evaluates emergence in the field. He visually assesses stand establishment in the field using a rating system, and show you how to do it in your field. When it comes to stand uniformity, he stresses the importance of having corn growing at the same rate, and the effect of having runt plants on your overall yield. And then finally he examines growth vigor, detailing the difference between vigor and stress emergence, and then how he measures early growth vigor in the example field.
