FIELD CORN HYBRID PERFORMANCE TRIAL, 2000
Marcelo Carena and Duane Wanner
NDSU Department of Plant Sciences
Table 20. Yield and agronomic data.
Corn 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 57 hybrids.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
| Soil: | Embden sandy loam, Hecla sandy loam and Maddock sandy loam ; pH=6.6; 2.4% organic matter; soil-P, soil-K, and soil-S were very high. |
| Previous crops: | 1999 - soybean and edibile bean; 1998 - pumpkin, squash, tomato and pepper; 1997 - field corn. |
| Seedbed preparation: | Disked on 29 October 1999. Multiweeded (field cultivated) on April 4 and May 2 to incorporate fertilizer and smooth seed bed. |
| Planting: | Planted May 3 in 30-inch rows. Thinned to 28,000 plants/acre on June 22. |
| Plots: | 17 ft long by 7.5 ft (3 rows) wide. There were 4 reps. |
| Fertilizer: | On April 4, broadcast 18 lbs N/acre and 20 lbs S/acre as 21-0-0-24. Sprayed 75 lbs N/acre as 28-0-0 on April 28. Knifed in 125 lbs of N/acre as 28-0-0 + N-Serve (1 qt/acre) on June 19. |
| Irrigation: | Underground drip irrigation as needed. |
| Pest Control: | Weeds were controlled by Frontier + Cypro AT DF (16 oz and 1.6 lbs/acre on May 3), Stinger (spot applied at pt/acre on May 25) and cultivation (June 13 and June 19). Sprayed Dipel (2 lb/acre on July 3) for European corn borer control. |
| Harvest: | Harvested with a plot combine on October 6. |
