Corn Hybrid Performance Trial – Dryland
L. Besemann and H. Eslinger
        A dryland corn hybrid performance trial was initiated in 2011 to provide information for corn producers in southeast and south central North Dakota.  This study is conducted on Barnes-Svea soils that dominate the dryland farming in the area.  
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Soil: Barnes-Svea; soil N 20 lbs/acre.
Previous crop: 2012 – soybean.
Seedbed preparation: Spring conventional tillage.
Planting: Planted May 10 in 30-inch rows.  Thinned to 32,800 plants/acre.
Fertilizer: Broadcast 17 lbs N/acre, 74 lbs P2O5/acre and 60 lbs K2O/acre as 7‑31‑25 November 2012.  Broadcast 124 lbs N/acre, 21 lbs P2O5/acre and 18 lbs K2O/acre as 38-6-5 May 6.  Sidedress 85 lbs N/acre June 19 as 28-0-0.
Pest control: Harness (2 pt/acre) May 24, Laudis (3 oz/acre) + AAtrex 9-O (0.5 lb ai/acre) + Destiny (0.05% v/v) + AMS (1½ lbs/acre) June 19.
Harvest: November 5 with a plot combine.  Harvest area was two rows 17 feet long.
