Sean and Andrew are joined by Iowa State University’s Dr. Sotirios Archontoulis to discuss his research on the relationship between different generations of corn hybrids and nitrogen variability.

The crew discusses:

✅ Managing the impacts of weather during the growing season

✅ Old era vs. new era hybrid research and data collection

✅ Yield efficiency compared to physiological efficiency

✅ Nitrogen supply in relation to post-harvest management practices

✅ GGD and SDD effects on yields

🌱 Meet the Guests:

Dr. Sotirios Archontoulis is a professor of integrated cropping systems in the Iowa State University Department of Agronomy. His research aims to predict impacts, explain causes, and design future strategies to improve crop productivity and environmental sustainability. His approach combines field experimentation and use of agricultural systems process-based models to explain Genotype x Environment x Management interactions and enable prediction and design at scale.

A Penney for Your Thoughts is hosted by Sean Blomgren, agronomist and owner of Blomgren Seed from Boone, Iowa, and Andrew Penney, plant doctor and Preceon agronomy lead for Bayer Crop Science from Ames, Iowa. We cover all things agronomy and high-yield management, share what we're seeing in the field and bring in trusted voices from the industry to deliver timely, relevant insights that matter to your farm. It's ag talk that just makes cents.
