Many folks are getting ready to start planting corn. In fact yesterday I visited with one grower who just could not wait any longer and started planting already in northern NJ. Early planted corn can get off to a slow start due to poor early season growing conditions and cool soil temperatures. "Pop-up" fertilizers are often used to maximize early season fertility. See the attached Penn State Agronomy Guide for more information. Basic Fertility Management
