CROP | Corn

THREAT | Stand Count

MISSION | 1 2 3 4 5 6

Cold and wet conditions can hinder crop emergence, making timely and precise replanting essential to achieve optimal yields.

PROBLEM

Poor emergence was observed in parts of the field due to cold and wet conditions following planting on April 14th.
Mission 1 revealed that approximately 25-35 acres were significantly below the target population.

RECOMMENDATION

A replanting prescription was created using the Taranis web app to pinpoint the specific areas needing replanting.
- Red areas indicated the need for replanting.
- Yellow areas showed a fair stand, though not ideal.
- Green areas had an excellent stand.
Due to time constraints, the grower used this map to efficiently drive to the identified areas and replant them.

OPPORTUNITY

The Mission 1 stand count accurately identified the locations requiring replanting and those with strong stands.
This approach saved time, increased the opportunity to improve the overall stand, and provided the grower with peace of mind knowing the replant efforts were precisely targeted.
