No Crops are Alike or are They?
By Paul Hermans
To the average city folk, all crops are the same. They need sun, water, plus nutrients to grow.
When we look more closely at corn and soybeans, yes, it is true they need all of this, but at different times of the year. Each crop is unique in their vegetative and reproductive stages of growth.
This article is the start of a two-part series. This month I will focus on the earlier vegetative stages of corn and soybeans. I will follow up with the second article on the reproductive stages.
