FIELD CORN HYBRID PERFORMANCE TRIAL, 1999
Marcelo Carena and Duane Wanner
NDSU Department of Plant Sciences
Table 18. Yield and agronomic data.
Corn generally grows very well in this area of North Dakota. Long days and lots of sunshine compensate for the short summer. This performance trial tested 69 hybrids.
MATERIALS AND
METHODS
| Soil: | Embden loam, Embden sandy loam and Gardena loam; pH=8.1; 3.0% organic matter; soil-P and soil-K were very high; soil-S was very low. |
| Previous crops: | 1998 - cabbage, tomato, carrot, potato, squash and onion; 1997 - carrot, onion, cabbage, squash, tomato and potato; 1996 - soybean and field corn. |
| Seedbed
preparation: |
Disked on 26 October 1998. Disked April 26. Field cultivated to incorporate fertilizer and smooth seed bed on April 30. |
| Planting: | Planted May 3 in 30-inch rows. Thinned to 28,000 plants/acre on June 16. |
| Plots: | 17 ft long by 7.5 ft (3 rows) wide. There were 4 reps. |
| Fertilizer: | On April 7, broadcast 15 lbs N/acre and 75 lbs P2O5/acre as 10-50-0, 18 lbs N/acre and 20 lbs S/acre as 21-0-0-24, and 99 lbs K20/acre as 0-0-60. Sprayed 70 lbs N/acre as 28-0-0 on April 27. Knifed in 100 lbs of N/acre as 28-0-0 + N-Serve (1 qt/acre) on June 9. |
| Irrigation: | Overhead sprinkler irrigation as needed. |
| Pest
Control: |
Weeds were controlled by Frontier + Cypro (16 oz and 1.6 lbs/acre on May 3), Stinger (spot applied at pt/acre on June 7), cultivation (June 14), and hand weeding. Sprayed Asana (8 oz/acre on June 29), Pounce (8 oz/acre on July 9) and chemigated Asana (8 oz/acre on July 21) for European corn borer control. |
| Harvest: | Harvested with a plot combine on October 4. |
