Performance of Corn Hybrids in 
Alabama, 1974
David H. Teeml /
Corn performance tests were conducted at 13 locations by the Auburn
University Agricultural Experiment Station in 1974. These tests are
conducted annually to determine relative production of many hybrids
offered for sale and to furnish unbiased information by which growers
may choose hybrids. They are designed to permit a comparison of hybrids
entered in each test and are not intended for use as an absolute measure
of the yielding potential of a hybrid in an area. Careful consideration
should be given to all performance characteristics when choosing a hybrid
since the proper choice may mean the difference between profit and loss.
High yields were obtained at most locations in 1974. Yields of more
than 100 bushels per acre were obtained at 9 of the 13 locations. A
bacterial blight was unusually severe on corn in several areas of Alabama
this season. Several farmers' fields were severely damaged- however, the
incidence was too low in the performance tests to give meaningful compari-
sons of resistance.
Location of the tests and cultural practices used are shown in
Table 1. Lime and fertilizer were applied in adequate amounts. For weed
control either chemical, mechanical, or a combination were used as needed.
The experimental design was a split-block with four replications. Yields
were adjusted to 15.5 percent moisture and 56 pounds per bushel. Stalks
broken below the ear or leaning more than 45 degrees 
were considered lodged.
Ear rot, earworm damage, size of ear and grain, and luster of 
grain were
considered in rating ear and grain quality. Height of ears was 
measured

from ear base to the ground level. 
Husks were rated by tightness 
and
extension beyond the tip of 
the ear.
Regional averages for 3, 2, and 1 years 
in northern Alabama are
presented in Tables 2, 3, 
and 4, respectively. Table 
5 shows yields tIy
location and regional average yields for 
1-5 years in northern Alabama.
Similar data are shown for central Alabama 
in Tables 6-9 and for southern
Alabama in Tables 
10-13.
Results from preliminary tests are shown in Tables (6-18. 
If a
hybrid is outstanding in these preliminary tests it 
is advanced to the
regular testing pfogram the 
following year.
A corn performance test was planted at the Black Belt Substation
Table 15. Corn acreage in this area has declined 
in recent years. One
cause has been the lack of hybrids resistant 
to the corn virus complex
of maize dwarf mcaic virus (NDMV) and maize chlorotic dwarf 
virus (MCDV).
This area of Alabama has an extremely high infestation 
of johnsongrass
which is a reservoir host of both viruses. There are several 
hybrids on
the market which are tolerant to 
this complex; however, none are immune.
High yields were obtained in 
the Black Belt test; however, 
a meaningful
evaluation of resistance or susceptibility 
of the hybrids was not possible
due to a low incidence of MDMV and 
MCDV in the test. However, there 
was
a high incidence of MDM'V and MCDV at 
Camp Hill this season. Ratings were
made and are shown in Table 
8. Ratings were made by 
Dr. R. T. Gudauskas,
Department of Botany and 
Microbiology.
The average yield of corn hybrids 
planted in 30-inch rows and 
irri-
gated at Camden was approximately 
three times higher than the 
same hybrids
planted in 38-inch rows 
and not irrigated, Table 
14. This was an usually
dry season at this location 
and although some of the 
yield increase may be
attributed to row spacing and 
plant population, most of the 
response was
due to irrization.

When comparing hybrids, small differences in yield may not be real
differences between hybrids but may result from variation in the plots
and testing procedures. To aid in determining real differences between
hybrids a statistical procedure, analysis of variance, was performed on
data from each location. The L.S.D. (least significant difference) is
given for yield at each location.
Long term averages are more reliable when choosing a hybrid for
an area. Three years results are considered sufficient to give a good
measure of the performance of hybrids. A composite rating system was
used to determine the list of acceptable hybrids. The northern, central
or southern Alabama regional average yield of a hybrid was used as its
base point. The composite score was obtained by subtracting values for
lodging, quality, and height of ears from its yield. The value subtracted
for each characteristic was proportional to the numerical value shown
for the characteristic in Tables 2, 6, and 10. Although those hybrids
that have a good record for 2 years in the regular test are included,
and noted, on the acceptable list; when possible, data from 3 or more
years are used in evaluating the hybrids.
All of the acceptable hybrids are not equal in performance. Some
are outstanding in one or more characteristics. Others may not be
outstanding in any one characteristic, but possess a satisfactory
combination of characteristics. For these reasons, it is suggested
that this report be carefully studied before choosing a corn hybrid
to plant in 1975.
