Corn plants need boron throughout the growing season. The uptake curve for the micronutrient is pretty linear from emergence to black layer, but making boron available in the ear later in the season, where it plays an important role in sugar movement and developing kernels, can be difficult. The challenge, says AGRIS Co-operative senior agronomist. Read More Corn plants need boron throughout the growing season.

The study found that 54% of global agricultural land could be planted with more trees without sacrificing food security, yet capturing 3.3 billion tons of carbon per year. The study’s lead author explains that this figure is based on planting climate-suited tree species in field margins, tailored to individual farms’ needs.
