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 1/ Research Associate, Department of Agronomy and Soils T\T rC)P1 O 2 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. 3 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.
