Hi Dr. Elena. I was reviewing the drone multispectral survey from East Block A this morning. I'm seeing noticeable yellowing on the lower leaves of the corn plants, but the upper leaves remain dark green. Soil moisture is at 18%. What is the root cause?
psychology
analytics Diagnostic Assessment • Corn Parcel 204

Based on your description of chlorosis (yellowing) localized on the older, lower leaves while new canopy growth stays green, this is a textbook indicator of a mobile nutrient deficiency—most specifically Nitrogen (N).

Because Nitrogen is mobile within the corn plant, under deficiency the plant translocates nitrogen from mature lower leaves to fuel the vegetative top.

Recommended Agronomic Action:
  • Execute a rapid handheld SPAD chlorophyll check or tissue test on Row 12 to verify.
  • Schedule side-dress liquid UAN 28% application at 40 lbs N/acre prior to the V8 stage.
  • Trigger Pivot #4 for a 0.5-inch flush to incorporate nutrients immediately.
