The purpose of this study is to compare the use of different sugar products, applied in-furrow, and their impact on yield and profitability.

2018 Minnesota Corn Sugar Study - In-Furrow

2-YEAR SUGAR IN-FURROW RETURN ON INVESTMENT

Research from other PFR sites has shown positive responses to in-furrow sugar applications in corn. For the second year in a row, we have not seen similar yield gains at the Minnesota PFR site, regardless of the product tested. Perhaps, after further testing, we can better understand the situations where in-furrow sugar applications will provide more consistent yield increases in this environment. We believe the reason these applications have such high interest is due to the relatively low cost of the sugar products. A larger increase in yield would not be necessary to achieve a positive return on investment.
