PURPOSE OF CORN VARIETY TESTS

1957

This report presents the data of the North Carolina Official Corn Variety

Tests for the 1957 season.

The objectives of these tests are to obtain performance information on

commercially available hybrids and varieties and to evaluate newer ones that

may have possibilities of equaling or excelling those now in general production.

For a hybrid to be eligible for sale in North Carolina, it must have been tested

in at least one area within the past five years.

There is a large number of corn hybrids in production channels. These

hybrids differ in yield, earliness of maturity, disease susceptibility, lodging or

storm resistance, ease of mechanical harvesting, grain quality. susceptibility

(3)

outstanding in one or more characteristics may be inferior in others. Some

entries may possess many excellent characteristics and yet may perform very

poorly due to a single inferior characterQ

Some hybrids may perform very well in one or more areas or regions

and perform very poorly in othe r s ,

In order for the producer of corn to choose hybrids that are most likely

to produce high yields and superior quality in a given area, he needs an

histor-ical record of yielding ability and other attribute s as sociated with yieldo

The crop variety testing 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 excell under generally

prevailing conditions.

More than 130 hybrids and varieties were tested during the 1957 growing

s ea s on ,

WHO CAN ENTER HYBRIDS AND VARIETIES

Any individual or firm may make application for having hybrids tested"

and in a.ddi.t ion , the Crop Variety Testing Agency may add entries about which

further information is d e sir ed ,

Early in February each year" rules governing the tests for the ensuing

year are distributed to all previous participants and to those who make inquiry.

TEST LOCATIONS

Ten locations repre sent different climatic and soil conditions were chosen

and fifteen separate tests were conducted which included ten full season and five

state.

The testing agency recognizes the cooperative spirit and civic-minded

service rendered by the farmers who have furnished, prepared and cultivated

the land, and also aided in harvesting these tests.

'I'he agricultural workers in their respective areas have contributed to the

success of these tests by aiding in locating, observing and holding field meetings,

as well as utilizing the information.

The contributions of Edwin L. Jones, Scientific Aide, who assisted with

planting, harve sting, collecting of data and in compiling the records are also

recognized.

The tests were conducted on the following private farms and branch

experiment stations:

Area I - Northern Mountains

Upper Mountain Research Station, Dana G. Tugman, Superintendent, Ashe Co unty , Laurel Springs, N. C.

MANAGEMENT OF lEST FIELDS

Cultural practices, such as soil preparation, date of planting, fertilizing

and topdre s sing, were in accord with good farm management and were the same

for all entries at each location.

Planting, thinning and harve sting were directly supervised by per sonnel

of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station.

SEASONAL CONDITIONS

The seasonal conditions for corn production were quite variable in the

state. Some areas suffered from severe drought. while others had sufficient

rainfall distribution to produce fair to good yields of corn. The tests conducted

in Granville and Johnston Counties suffered from drought, while the test in

Bladen County had adequate rainfall to make an above normal yield.

PERFORMANCE RECORDS

Yields for the 1957 corn tests are given for fifteen tests and are

sum-marized by re spective areas.

A single yearIs record at a given location may not portray the true

per-formance of a hybrid or variety over a wide range of seasonal conditions. In

Area III. Piedmont. and in Area IV, Southern Coastal Plain, records of three

tests have been averaged. Likewise, in Area V~ Northern Coastal Plain, two

tests have been averaged. The yeild records of commercially available hybrids

that have been tested in an area for three consecutive years are summarized

and should be utilized when available. You may wish to refer to previous

"Mea sur ed Crop Performancel l _{bulletins for two-year data or to an Extension}

(7)

YIELD

'Weights of ear corn were obtained by husking and weighing six replicates

of each entry at each location tested. Statistical analyses were made by

Dr. H. F'G Robinson of the Department of Experimental Statistics.

INSEC T' DAMAGE

"Weevils and other stored grain insects often cause damage to the kernels

on the ears of corn before they are harvested. Some hybrids are damaged more

than others, depending on how well the ears are covered with s hu ck s , earliness

of maturity, and hardiness or starchiness of the kernels.

The tests were all harvested relatively early; therefore, the stored grairL

insect damage was so small that differences could not be distinguished, except

in the Bladen County test.

MOISTURE IN GRAIN

Mois tu r e in the grain is another factor that de te r rnin e s market grade.

F'o r grade l~o. 2 corn, 15. 5 percent moisture is the rna xi rn urn permis sable.

'll1.erefore, samples from all entries of each test are tested for moisture and

adjusted in order that yield comparisons are made at the same moisture

con-te nt , IS.5 percent.

ivlois tu r e content is sometimes used to indicate earliness or maturity

date. Us ualIy the earlier the maturity of the corn the lower the moisture

con-tent. A high percentage of moisture may also indicate that a large number of

the ears have fallen to the ground and have absorbed moisture.

EARS PER 100 STALKS

The number of ears per 100 stalks is a measure of pr olifi c a cy and indicates

(8)

EAR HEIGH1'

Ear height was obtained by estimating the ear placement for each entry in

two replications at each location and obrainincr the mean.

b

LODGING

Lodging is a term used to describe stalks that are broken. leaning or

fallen to the ground. All plants broken below the ear or leaning more than 450

fr orn the perpendicular are considered lodged.

DISEASES

Reaction of hybrids to leaf blights (the t wo major ones) has been evaluated

for the past three fears. When weather conditions are good for severe disease

dev e Lop rn e nt , such as 1957 in the western part of the state, it is difficult to

COIll-pare hyb rid s for amount of disease since all were severely attacked. In years

of rn od e r at e disease d e ve Ioprne nt , such as 1956, good comparisons can be made

a1:11.011.g the hybrids tested. When adequate comparisons can be made during two

or three succes sive years, the r e a ct ion of hybrids to leaf blights will be

sum-marized in this bulletin. Preliminary observations indicate that hybrids

devel-oped for all sections of the state show differences in reaction to leaf

blights---Richard Ne I s on

SHORT SEASON vSG FULL SEASOI'~ CORr~

Short season corn is early maturing and is usually sufficiently dry to be

harvested and rn ar ke te d in late August and early September. This type supplies

all early (August and September) market demand, and the production of it has

(9)

groWl1. in other Coastal Plain Areas. The short season corn is grown for two

specific purposes: (1) early market and (2) hogging off. The keeping qualities

of the short season hybrids are usually inferiort and unless the grower e xe r ciaes

extra precautions the quality and feed value are likely to deteriorate rapidly

from insect damage.

Short season corn is usually less suitable for storing on the farm because

of this rapid deterioration.

For general farm storing and feeding, full season corn is more likely to

preserve its quality and usually is damaged less by insects. Full season corn

requires from three weeks to one month longer to reach maturity and to become

sufficiently dry to harvest and store. Usually, corn is dry enough to be
