Agronomy Facts 53: The Early Season Chlorophyll Meter Test for Corn
The chlorophyll meter is a handheld device that instantly measures the greenness (or chlorophyll) of a plant in the field. Nitrogen is closely associated with chlorophyll, so chlorophyll readings reveal the nitrogen status of corn plants. This six-page fact sheet explains the benefits of early season chlorophyll meter test for corn and how it can be used to calculate fertilizer recommendations.

Pennsylvania Commercial Grain and Silage Hybrid Corn Tests Report: 2008 Results
This 24-page publication combines the five publications discussing corn silage and grain performance information produced in previous years. Tests of commercially available corn hybrids are conducted annually at several locations in each of the four maturity zones in Pennsylvania to provide farmers, seed producers, extension educators, and others with information about hybrid performance. The report provides independent and unbiased information, and should be used to supplement other sources of information, such as seed industry performance tests, other independent testing data, and on-farm performance records when making hybrid selection decisions.
