PERFOR ANCE OF CORN VARIETIES - 1971
Suggested Hybrids for 1972 (if produced with N cytoplasm)
This report does not contain data for certain hybrids on the following
list because of damage by southern corn leaf blight in 1970 and lack of normal
cytoplasm seed for testing in 1971. The hybrids listed have performed well
in tests through 1969. Many new hybrids are available but have not been
tested long enough for recommendation. It is suggested that this report be
carefully studied before choosing a hybrid. (Hybrids are listed alphabetically
within groups and yellow and white hybrids are designated (Y) and (W),
respectively.)

Performance of Corn Varieties in Alabama, 1971
David H. Teem
i
Corn performance tests were conducted at 12 locations by the Auburn
University Agricultural Experiment Station in 1971. Southern corn leaf
blight (race T) was not a problem on normal cytoplasm entries and excellent
yields were made at most locations. Several T cytoplasm hybrids were entered
to check the presence and severity of southern corn leaf blight (race T)
during 1971. One F
2 
or second generation variety, one open-pollinated variety,
and several flint hybrids were also included in this year's tests.
All tests were hand planted and hand harvested. Fertilization, plant
population, weed control, and other practices were the same for all hybrids
within a given test. The experimental design was a randomized complete block
with four replications. Yields were adjusted to 15.5 per cent 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 graih
and luster of grain were considered in rating ear and grain quality. Height
of ears was measured from ear base to 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 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Table 4 shows yields by location and
regional average yields for 1 - 4 years in northern Alabama. Similar data
are shown for central Alabama in Tables 5 - 8 and for southern Alabama in
Tables 9 -12. Table 13 compares several flint hybrids with one dent hybrid
at Auburn during 1971. Pesults of an irrigated versus non-irrigated test at
Camden are shown in Table 14.

Long-term averages should be considered when choosing a hybrid. However,
because of the shift from T cytoplasm to N cytoplasm many of the hybrids which
had been tested for several years were either not available for testing in
1971 or were discontinued rather than converted to N cytoplasm. When com-
paring hybrids small differences in yield should not be considered as real
differences between hybrids but differences resulting 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 significance difference) is given for
yield at each location. This means that the difference between the two hybrids
being compared must be greater than the L.S.D. value for the difference to
be real. The (.05) level of probability means that chances are greater
than 19:1 that the difference is real.
Results obtained from planting the F
2 
or second generation variety from
the hybrid, Funk's G-795W-1, indicate approximately a 25 per cent reduction in
2/
yield with the F2. Although the reduction varied with location it is
advisable to plant F1 seed. Comparison of Mosby, an open-pollinated variety,
to the highest yielding hybrid on a 3-year average shows a reduction of 32 per
cent from planting this open-pollinated variety. Yields of flint hybrids were
generally less than dent hybrids and do not appear to be satisfactory substi-
tutes, Table 13. Yield reduction of T cytoplasm hybrids and blends was
variable depending on the location. Little reduction was found at some
locations while drastic reductions occurred at others. It should be noted that
an unusually cool spring and almost complete elimination of T cytoplasm hybrids
probably resulted in less inoculum than in 1970. This may in part account for
the light damage from southern corn leaf blight (race T) at some locations.

Results from the irrigation test at Camden showed a definite increase
in yields from irrigation this season even though rainfall was generally
adequate. However, there was an increase in lodging associated with the
irrigation.
Even though data from 1967--71 is contained in this report the list of
suggested hybrids for 1972 is based primarily on data prior to and including
1969.
Seed of hybrids, for testing in 1972, should be available in normal
cytoplasm and recommendations brought up to date. It is suggested that this
report be carefully studied before choosing a hybrid for 1971.
