Performance of Corn Varieties in Alabama, 1972
David H Teem!
/
Corn performance tests were conducted at 12 locations by the Auburn
University Agricultural Experiment Station in 1972. These tests are
ccnducted annually to determine relative production of many varieties
offered for sale and furnish unbiased information by which growers may
choose a variety. They are conducted to give a comparison of varieties
entered in each test and are not intended for use as an absolute measure
of the yielding potential of a variety in an area. Careful consideration
should be given when choosing a variety since the proper choice may mean
the difference between profit and loss.
The test at Auburn was not harvested Iue to large variations in stand.
One T cytoplasm hybrid was entered to check the presence and severity of
southern corn leaf blight (race T) during 1972. One F
2 
or second genera
-
tion variety, and one open-pollinated variety were also included in this
year's tests.
Tests were hand planted and hand harvested. Recommended fertilization,
plant population, weed control, and other practices were followed and
conditions were the same for all hybrids within a given test. The experi-
mental 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 grain, and luster of grain
1/ Research Associate, Department of Agronomy and Soils.
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 pre-
sented in Tables 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Tbe 4 shows yields by
location and regional average yields for 1-5 years in northern Alabama.
Similar data are shown for central Alabama in Tables 5-8 and for southern
Alabama in Tables 9-12. Results of irrigated versus non-irrigated tests
at Camden are shown in Table 13.
When comparing 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 H.S.D. (honestly
significant difference) is given for yield at each location. This means
that if the difference between two hybrids being compared is greater
than the HILS.Do value, the difference is considered real at the (.05)
level of probability.
Long term averages should be considered when choosing a hybrid.
Three years testing is considered sufficient to give a good measure of
the performance of varieties. To help determine if a variety should be
included in the acceptable list, a system was devised to obtain a
composite rating for each variety. The regional average yield of a
variety was used as its base point. The composite rating was obtained
by subtracting values for lodging, quality, and height of ears from the
base point. The value subtracted for each characteristic was pro-
portional to the numerical value shown for the characteristic in Tables
1, 5, and 9. Also, those hybrids that have a good record for 2 years in
the regular test are included, and noted, on the acceptable list. When
available, data from more than 3 years are used in evaluating the varieties.
All of the acceptable varieties are not equalinerformance Some
are outstanding in one or more characteristics. Others are not outstanding
in any one characteristic, but possess a satisfactory combination of char-
acteristics. For these reasons, it is suggested that this report be care-
fully studied before choosing a variety of corn.

Variety tests were conducted in cooperation with S. E. Gissendanner,
J. K. Boseck, R. A. Moore, E. L. I"ayton, E. M. Evans, J. W. Langford,
F. T. Glaze, V. L. Brown, E. L. Carden, 11. F. Yates, and J. C. Starling.
