Nebraska Corn Board
Corn production, new uses, nutrient and water efficiency, pest management, and market development
The Nebraska Corn Board is a farmer-directed state agency established in 1978 to administer the Nebraska corn checkoff. It invests producer dollars in research, education, promotion, and market development that increase the demand, value, and sustainability of Nebraska corn; this hub brings the published research record connected to those investments into one place.

Key Topics
Impact Category Portfolio
How research funded by Nebraska Corn Board maps to the board's impact priorities.
Production Efficiency
Yield, profitability, input efficiency, irrigation scheduling, precision agriculture, and field operations.
Pest & Disease Management
Weeds, insects, pathogens, disease suppression, integrated pest management, and crop protection.
Water & Soil Stewardship
Groundwater, surface water, soil health, carbon, resilience, conservation, and sustainability outcomes.
Nutrient Management
Nitrogen, fertilizer efficiency, nutrient use, runoff, sidedress, and variable-rate application.
Papers may contribute to more than one priority, so category percentages are not intended to total 100%.
Not yet represented in OpenAgData
These categories have no matched papers in the current intake. That may reflect incomplete links or tagging, not a gap in Nebraska Corn Board's funding.

A two-year Nebraska field study clarified how effectively insecticides applied through center-pivot irrigation (chemigation) control Western bean cutworm in corn.

Sensor-based N management cut nitrogen application by ~40 kg N/ha in corn with no yield loss across 57 Nebraska on-farm site-years (2015–2023). Benefits are greatest in moderate-to-high yield variability fields with coarser soils. Sensors showed no statistically significant gains in winter wheat. Profit probability exceeded 60% for corn across most price scenarios. Despite consistent evidence, only 11% of Nebraska producers currently use sensor-based approaches — indicating a technology transfer gap.

Combining narrower corn rows with herbicide programs increased light interception and improved control of resistant Palmer amaranth — an integrated tactic that reduces reliance on chemicals alone.

Spraying resistant Palmer amaranth while it is small (10–15 cm) sharply improved control and cut seed production in herbicide-resistant corn — a clear timing rule for Nebraska growers.
