Preceon Short-Stature Corn from Bayer allows growers to produce more with less but does so while significantly cutting ...

New research shows that pairing hybrid root architecture with your tillage system and residue management is a way to grow more bushels.

Bayer and university researchers summarized several years of data, concluding that short-stature corn systems reduced carbon intensity for growing corn by 13%. The same study concluded that root ...

You can’t construct a strong building on a weak foundation, and you can’t grow a great corn crop on a weak root system. From freezing temperatures to voracious underground pests and other threats, ...

Dr. Dan Quinn, Purdue Corn Agronomist, shared his experience with abnormal mesocotyl growth of corn seedlings in the most recent Pest & Crop Newsletter. As a young agronomist, one of the first things ...

A new study uses novel single-cell profiling techniques to reveal how plants add new cell layers that help them resist climate stressors like drought or flooding. The research focuses on corn—a ...

This figure from the paper shows the evolution of root types from teosinte to modern corn over the last 10 000 years, simulated using the modeling program OpenSimRoot, which was developed by ...

For decades, his research group in the College of Agricultural Sciences has been uncovering how roots play a critical role in plant development and survival. "Corn is no exception, and it turns out ...

Corn is a colossal grain in the global food and feed chain, with the U.S. producing roughly 30% of the world's supply, or nearly 278 million metric tons in the 2024–25 growing season alone. But its ...
