[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 3217241, member: 10019"] N fixation is a big factor, but rotation for cultural pest control is probably a bigger factor on the Corn-Bean rotation. With that said, it is very wise to rotate your garden crops as well. Certain diseases and virus that affect one species can affect another as well. So rotation is key, all the fertilizer in the world will not help if the plant is effected with a virus. Weed control is important too. Corn is a grass, so it needs lots of N for the newer varieties. N causes plenty of weed competition growth. Johnson grass will likely be a factor, you just need to hand weed it until the corn can shade it out. [/QUOTE]
