Corn Gluten Meal Trials

Corn gluten meal has received considerable research and public attention as an organic alternative to “synthetic” chemical fertilizers and herbicides.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of corn gluten meal (a byproduct of the ethanol industry) as a fertilizer along with any impact on weed suppression or control. The study is designed to evaluate both timing and rates of nitrogen application through the use of corn gluten meal.
