Approximately 75 per cent of the irrigated land in the Nebraska counties through which the Republican River flows was planted to corn in 1950. It is anticipated the that farmer on newly irrigated lands will also be primarily interested in growing corn. Of the many practices that are important for corn production, this bulletin consideres only the influence of stand, soil fertility level, and irrigation practice. Experimental results obtainded in the Republican Valley at Arapahoe and Superior, on the Tri-Country Farm at Holdrege, on the North Platte and Scotts Bluff Experiment Station and at various locations in central and eastern Nebraska are used to point out the possible influence of the three factors on corn production in the Republican Valley. Recommendation based upon the results reported and those obtained elsewhere are as follows: (...).

Corn and grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor subsp. bicolor L) are among the top cereal crops world wide, and both are key for global food security. Similarities between the two crops, particularly their adaptation for warm-season grain production, pose an opportunity for comparisons to inform appropriate cropping decisions. This book provides a comprehensive review of the similarities and differences between corn and grain sorghum. It compares corn and sorghum crops in areas such as morphology, physiology, phenology, yield, resource use and efficiency, and impact of both crops in different cropping systems. Producers, researchers and extension agents in search of reliable scientific information will find this in-depth comparison of crops with potential fit in dryland and irrigations cropping systems particularly valuable. - Presents a wide range of points of comparison - Offers important insights for crop decision making
