Marcelo Carena and Duane Wanner
NDSU corn breeding program
NDSU Department of Plant Sciences
Corn generally grows very well in this
area of
hybrids are at risk of being reduced by
cool weather or early frosts. This performance trial tested 72 hybrids.
NDSU Corn Breeding
Research at the Oakes Irrigation Research Site 2006.

Soil: |
Maddock
sandy loam; pH=6.9; 2.0% organic matter; soil-P and soil-K were very high;
soil-S was medium. |
|
Previous

|
Planting: |
Planted
May 5 in 30-inch rows. Thinned to
30,000 plants/acre on June 15. |
|
Fertilizer: |
On
April 10, broadcast 20 lbs N/acre, 45 lbs P2O5/acre, 51
lbs K2O/acre and 13 lbs S/acre as 21-0-0-24, 11-52-0 and 0-0-60
and on April 24 applied 50 lbs N/acre as 28-0-0. Knifed in 130 lbs of N/acre as 28-0-0 on June 7. |
|
Irrigation: |
Overhead
sprinkler irrigation as needed |
|
Control: |
Outlook
(1 pt/acre on May 8) Buctril + Atrazine 90% (1 pt + 0.6 lb /acre
May 26), Option + MSO + 28-0-0 (1.5oz + 1.5 pt + 1.5 pt/acre May 31) and hand
weeding controlled weeds. |
|
Harvest: |
Harvested
with a plot combine on October 6. |
