This is a great topic. Thanks for covering. I had my first year here where my best yields were achieved and can only be explained by better than expected kernel weight. My observations where on the tissue tests (v3-vt) they almost always where at or above optimum for npk. We never had TOO much rain so never a wet feet problem. I think healthy and plentiful roots resulted and along with plant health treatment at Vt were the reasons for my best year yet.

Test weight does not correlate to yield. Plant population, kernel numbers, water availability, etc contribute to yield
