Effects of Soil Moisture Levels on Cold-Test Germination of Corn1

J. A. Hooks and M. S. Zuber2

Synopsis: Soils from fields cropped continuously to corn gave lower germination results than soil from a field in rotation or soil which had never been planted to corn. Germination was reduced considerably in soil sampled after one year of corn production and indicated that crop rotation would help in preventing this reduction.
