PURPOSE OF CORN

YA~JETY

TESTS

1956

This rerort

presents the

data of

the North Carol

Variety Tests for the 1956 season.

The objec

r

lve of these tests Is to obtain performance information

o n c o m m er c

l

a l l v e v e l le b l e hybrids a n d v a r i e t i e s a n d t o evaluate n e w e r

ones that may have

l ities of equaling

or

excel I ing

those

nOVI

In

gen~ra,

production.

There

are

in

comm~rcia'

channets a large number of

corn hybrids.

These differ l n

yield,

earliness of

maturity,

disease s uscept lb lIl

t

y,

lodging or storm res Is te nce , ease of mechanical harvesting.. gra in qual ity, susceptibil ity to stored gra in insects, and many

other

characteristics.

Tt,cse

st re lns

that

are

outstanding in one or more

characteristic

may be inferior

in others.

Some entries

may

pos ses ;

many excellent

characteristics and

yet

may

perform

very

poorly due to a

single

inferior

characteristic.

Some hybrids may perform

very

we lt in one or more areas or regions and

perform

very

poorly in others.

In

order

for

the

producer

of corn to

choose

hybrids that

are

most

I

ikely to

produce high

yield and superior qua

lity

in a given area, he needs

a historica

r

record

of

yielding

abi I

ity

and

other attributes

associated

with yield

o

The crop variety

te~ting

program attempts to

obtain such

records

and

to provide a source of unbiased and dependable information which can be

used as a

basis

for deciding which

hybrids

are

most

likely

to

excel

I under

generally prevailing condlt

l

ons ,

More

than 100

hybrids

and varieties

were

tested

during the

1956

growing

season.

WHO CAN ENl'ER HYBR iDS AtNJD VARJET IES

Any

individual or firm

may

make application for having

hybrids

tested,

and in addition the Crop Variety Testing

Agency may

add

entries

about which

further

information

is desired.

MA~~GEMENT O~

TEST FIELDS

Cultural pr-ac

t

lce s , such as soil preparation, date of planting,

ferti l.ization at planting, time of app l ication and amount of nitrogen

were in accord ·with good farm practice and were the same for gil entries. Planting, thinning and harvesting

were

directly supervised

by

personnel of North Carolina Agrieultl!/ral Experiment Station.

-2.':/\S~~.._~OND tTfONS

The 1956 season" in general, vIas favorable for good corn pro ducr

i

on ,

The yield of the Harnett County test was reduced by hot dry wea

t

he r

during

pol

I

ination.

This caused poor

pollination

for

most

entries

J

but enough

rain

fell

in time for the corn to

make

a fair yield.

The Lincoln and

Alamance

County

tests

were

abandoned due to extreme

dry

weather and poor stands.

Under

these adverse

conditions

it

was the

opinion of the testing agency

that any

data obtained

would

be misleading

for evaluation of

hybrids.

PERFO~~NCE RECO~

Yield for the 1956

corn test

a~e

given

for

thirteen

tests.

The

dry

weather and

poor

stands in Alamance and

Lincoln

Counties rendered

these

two

test~

useless.

A single

year's

record at

a

given location

may

not

portray

the

true

performance

of a hybrid or variety over a wide range of seasonal conditions.

In Area

IV,

Southern Coastal

Plain,

records of three tests have been averaged.

Likewise, in Area

V,

Northern Coastal

Pta in ,

two tests have

been

averaged.

The

yield

records of commercially a ve l lable hybrids that have been tested

in an area for three

consecutive

years

are summarized by area and should be utiiized when ava j

labl e.

Y(ELD.S

Bushels of corn harvested per e cre ;s the most important

considera-tion

in

choosing

a

hybrid

or

variety.

However ,

other characteristics

that contribute

to

yield and quality may be almost as important as yield

itself.

Such

characteristics as disease resistance, lodging

resistance,

height of ears" husk cover" grain

quality,

stored grain

insect

sU5cepti-bit

ity

should

always be kept ciearly-io

mind.

-GRP,IN QUA1.

f:ex

Gra in qua I ity is an indicator of market grade and takes into con-s ideration the percentage of kernelcon-s damaged

by

inseots and

decay

organ-isms and general appae rencs of the ears. Since the percentage of damaged kernels is one of the factors that determines market grade, all entries

are scored for decay or rot damage when these factors are present.

INS EeT DANAGE

V~eevi Is and other stored grain insects often cause damage to the

kernels

on-the

ears of corn

in

the

fields before it isharvested.

Some

hvbrldsie re damaged more than others depending on how well the ears are

covered

-wl

th shuck.. earl iness of

maturity

and hardiness or starchiness of the ke rric l s ,

The tests

v/ere

atl harvested relatively early, therefore the stored

grain insect damage \A/aS so small that differences could not be

distln-guished.

&,0JSTURE fN GRA

Moisture in the gra in is a nother factor that determines market

grade.

15~5%

corn, therefore,

samples from

all

entries of each test are tested for moisture and artjusted

in or co r that yield com.rs r lsons are made at the same mo!sture con te...'. 15A~'%. Moisture conte~t is sometimes used to indicate

earl

iness or ~aturity

te , Usually

the

earl ier the

maturity

of

the corn the lower

moisture content. A hl qh pe

rcenre

qe of moisture maya Iso indicate a larger number of

the ears have fa lien to the ground and have absorbed moisture" EARS PER 100 S_TALKS

The number of ears per 100 stalks is a measure of prof

ificacy

and indicates whether an

entry

tends to be a single ear

0r

a prol ific

type.

EAR HEIGHT

-""--~--The height of ears from the ground may influence ease or difficulty of mechen

lee

I harvesting as well as hand picking. The percentage of plants

lodged may be increased by high ear. placement.

-1.008tN,(;'

Lodging is a term used to describe s fo l ks that are broken, leaning

or fa' len to the

groundt

All plants broken be I ow the ear or leaning more than

45°5

perpendicular

are

considered lodged •

.§J:iORT SEASON Vs. FULL SEASON CORNS

Short season

corns

are

early

maturing and are

usually

sufficiently

dry to be harvested and marketed in le re Aucus r and September. These supply an early (Aug. and Sep

r

s ) market demand and the production of

this

type

of corn has been

limited

primari Iy

to

the

Northeastern Counties,

however , some ;s be ;ng gro\vn in other Cca staI ?Ia in Areas. These short season corns are grown for two specific purposes , (I) earl

y

market and

(2) hogging off.

The keeping quat itI8s of these short season

hybrids

are

usually inferior, and unless the grower exercises extra precautions the

quality and feed value is I ikefy to deteriorate rapidly from insect damage.

Short season corns are usually less suitable for storing on the farm because of this rapid deter:oration.

For general farm storing and feeding full season corns are more like I y to prese rye the; r qua I

i

ty and usua I I

yare

damaged I ess by

insects.

Fu I

I

season corns requ! re from three weeks to one month longer to reach maturity and to become sufficiently

dry

to

harvest

and store but in most of the state are usually

dry

enough to be harvested in early October.

Corns considered ful I season

In

the Coastal Pia in
