Final Planting Population: Add ’000’ to get the approximant population.
Note: Final plant population recommendations include assumptions that
soil fertility and moisture holding capacity are sufficient to sustain the crop
at recommended populations. Corn CHU ratings shown are for Eastern
Canada, typically Corn CHU ratings for Western Canada would be
100-150 heat units less.
