| 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. This trial tested 69 hybrids. | ||||||||||||||||
| MATERIALS AND METHODS | ||||||||||||||||
| Soil: | Barnes-Svea; pH=5.6; 3.4% organic matter; soil N 20 lbs/acre; soil-P and soil-K was very high; soil-S was medium. | |||||||||||||||
| Previous crop: | 2013 – soybean. | |||||||||||||||
| Seedbed preparation: | Spring conventional tillage. | |||||||||||||||
| Planting: | Planted May 15 in 30-inch rows. Thinned to 32,800 plants/acre. | |||||||||||||||
| Fertilizer: | Broadcast 25 lbs N/acre, 44 lbs P2O5/acre and 47 lbs K2O/acre and 19 lbs S/acre as 10‑18‑19-8 April 15. Stream bar 50 lbs N/acre as 28-0-0 May 28. Sidedress 85 lbs N/acre June 17 as 28-0-0. | |||||||||||||||
| Pest control: | Harness (2 pt/acre) May 26, Laudis (3 oz/acre) + AAtrex 9-O (0.5 lb ai/acre) + Destiny (0.05% v/v) + AMS (1½ lbs/acre) June 3. | |||||||||||||||
| Harvest: | November 13 with a plot combine. Harvest area was two rows 17 feet long. | |||||||||||||||
| RESULTS | ||||||||||||||||
| Overall yields were the highest since the dryland trial was established in 2011 in the Oakes area. Timely moisture after planting and the growing season produced a mean yield of 185.9 bu/acre. | ||||||||||||||||
