Effect of standing water and saturated soils on corn growth

Standing water or saturated soil conditions in areas of a field can impact corn now or later. Periods of early-season water saturation can cause immediate problems for small corn plants and have season-long implications. This article discusses the potential impacts and complicating factors when corn fields are subjected to standing water.

Effect of standing water and saturated soils on corn growth

Recent rains and forecasted precipitation could increase saturated soils and standing water in Kansas corn fields, especially in low-lying areas. Early-season flooding can stunt young corn plants and lead to long-term yield impacts. Stay informed and monitor affected fields closely.

Soybean response to standing water and saturated soils

Soybean planting is underway in Kansas, but recent heavy rains have left some fields saturated or underwater. This can delay emergence, cause compaction, reduce stand uniformity, and lead to seedling loss. This article explains how to assess damage, variety tolerance to flooding, and when to submit samples for diagnostics.
