| Corn Hybrid
Performance Trial – Dryland |
|
| K. Cooper 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 48 hybrids. |
|
|
| MATERIALS AND
METHODS |
|
| Soil: |
Barnes-Svea;
pH = 6.1; 4.1% organic matter; soil N was 20 lbs/acre; soil P was low; soil K
was very high; soil S was very low. |
|
| Previous crop: |
2016 –
Soybean. |
|
| Seedbed preparation: |
Strip-till
with an Orthman strip-till machine. |
|
| Planting: |
Planted May
8 in 30-inch rows. Thinned to 33,200 plants/acre. |
|
| Fertilizer: |
Broadcast 21 lbs N/acre, 40 lbs P2O5/acre, 50 lbs K2O/acre and 15 lbs S/acre as 10-18-23-7 April 5. Apply 100 lbs
N/acre via Stream-bar as 28-0-0 May 23.
Sidedress 92 lbs N/acre as 28-0-0 June 15. |
|
| Pest Control: |
Laudis (3 oz/acre) + AAtrex 9-O (0.5 lb ai/acre) + Destiny
(0.05% v/v) + Interlock (4 oz/acre) May 31. |
|
| Harvest: |
October 25
and October 26 with a plot combine. Harvest area was two rows 19 feet long. |

|
|
| RESULTS |
|
|
|
| Overall yields
were lower in 2017 with a mean of 191.7 bu/acre compared to the 225.0 bu/acre
mean in 2016. Yields ranged from 172.2
bu/acre to 215.6 bu/acre. The decrease
in yield was primarily due to drier than normal conditions. Total rainfall recorded was 11.73 inches
for the season which was about 6 inches less than the long term season total. |
