The Solar Corridor Crop System: Implementation and Impacts presents a case-study format on the planning and implementation of alternative cropping systems designed to maximize incident sunlight and bio-support of all crops in a rotation system. The book describes the basic component of the system, an increased access point of incident sunlight between each row or pairs of rows that enables a more uniform vertical distribution of incident sunlight to chloroplasts within the entire corn leaf canopy.

The Solar Corridor Crop System: Implementation and Impacts presents a case-study format on the planning and implementation of alternative cropping systems designed to maximize incident sunlight and bio-support of all crops in a rotation system. The book describes the basic component of the system, an increased access point of incident sunlight between each row or pairs of rows that enables a more uniform vertical distribution of incident sunlight to chloroplasts within the entire corn leaf canopy. While the production environment and environment specific genetics determine the performance potential of this principle, by maximizing the principles that light is basic to crop yield, a solar corridor ultimately contributes to increased grain yield.
Written by experts who were integral in the development of solar corridor systems, and providing real-world examples of the methods, challenges and future prospects, this book will be valuable for those seeking to increase yield-per-acre through both primary and cover-crops.
C. LeRoy Deichman, Interdisciplinary Corn Production Agronomist, Deichman Consulting Deichman's primary agronomic interests lie in 1.)interactions and resulting synergies within and between the corn production environment and the phenotypes that express it, 2.) the most limiting factors in state of the art corn production and 3.) an innovative vision for what lie ahead. e.g. Deichman and Murrell and Deichman and Barrett, '77 and '78, respectively identified synergies between specific soil fertility parameters and specific genetics, setting the stage for subsequent work that has since come forth on the subject. Deichman and Warsaw, '88 did the same for the solar Corridor's specific light enriched production environment. Initially with clients of Deichman Consulting, Deichmann Maize Research,Inc. and Maize Research Unlimited, respectively, Deichman directed the seminal research on the SCCS and holds the Core Patent and 4 synergistic patent applications pending submission.
