The researchers at Stiles Farm completed measurements for leaf area comparisons in the corn-on-corn and corn-on-cotton crop rotation plots. Interesting results: these measurements were taken just as tassle appeared in the top whorl of the plants, later at Silking. Avg of 3 plants in each set of observations.
