The purpose of this study is to determine what effect different closing wheels have on plant emergence and yield. Unfavorable planting conditions were targeted in this study.

3-YEAR MULTI-LOCATION CLOSING WHEEL YIELD ADVANTAGE

2-YEAR MULTI-LOCATION CLOSING WHEEL YIELD ADVANTAGE

Year after year, we have seen how more aggressive closing wheels can increase yields over the standard two solid rubber wheels. Closing wheels are the last part of the planter that can affect the corn crop at planting, so the wrong setup can negate all the proper placement and depth you have achieved. Closing wheels need to close the trench from the bottom up, creating good seedto- soil contact for emergence. They are also responsible for eliminating sidewall compaction and creating good soil conditions for proper root growth. More aggressive closing wheels create soil conditions that allow for higher yield potential.
