FIELD CORN HYBRID PERFORMANCE TRIAL, 1996
Harold Cross, NDSU Plant Science Dept. and Richard G GreenlandCorn generally grows very well in this area of North Dakota. The short summer is compensated for by long days and lots of sunshine. This performance trial tested 66 hybrids.
Table 30. Yield and agronomic data
MATERIALS AND METHODS
| Soil: | Maddock sandy loam; pH=7.4; 2.1% organic matter; soil-P and soil-K were high; soil-S was very low. |
| Previous crops: | 1995 - soybean, tomato, squash, potato, carrot, cabbage, onion; 1994 - corn and soybean; 1993 - tomato, pepper, carrot, soybean. |
| Seedbed preparation: | Disked May 5. Multiweeded to incorporate fertilizer and smooth seed bed on May 6. |
| Planting: | Planted May 7 in 30-inch rows. Thinned to 28,000 plants/acre on June 24. |
| Fertilizer: | On April 17, broadcast 14 lbs N/acre and 70 lbs P2O5/acre as 10-50-0, 16 lbs N/acre and 19 lbs S/acre as 21-0-0-24, and 94 lbs K20/acre as 0-0-60. Sprayed 50 lbs N/acre as 28-0-0 on May 3. Knifed in 100 lbs of N/acre as 28-0-0 on June 20. |
| Irrigation: | Sprinkler irrigated as needed. |
| Pest Control: | Sprayed Frontier and Bladex (15 oz and 1.5 lbs/acre on May 7) and cultivated (June 21) for weed control. Asana (8 oz/acre chemigated on July 12 and July 31) controlled European corn borer. |
| Harvest: | Harvested with a plot combine on October 9. |
