Performance of Corn Hybrids in Alabama, 1975
David H. Teeml
/
Corn performance tests were conducted at 13 locations 
by the Auburn
University Agricultural Experiment Station in 1975. 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.
Rainfall distribution was good during the 1975 growing season and
high yields were obtained in most tests. Yields of more than 100
bushels per acre were obtained at 11 of the 13 locations. Lodging data
was not recorded at Auburn, Tallassee, Prattville, and Camp Hill due
to wind damage from hurricane Eloise on September 23, 1975.
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, tmchanical, 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 calculated at 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
1/ Research Associate, Department of Agronomy and Soils
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, Tab le 5 shows yields
by locaton and regional average yields for 1-5 years in northern Ala-
bama. Similar data are shown for central Alabama in tables 
6-9 and for
southern Alabama in tables 10-13. The performance of corn hybrids
planted in 30-inch rows and irrigated at Camden for 1 and 2 years is
shown in tables 14 and 15 respectively. In 1975 this test was furrow
irrigated on June 26, July 14, and July 20 with 1.5, 2.0, and 2.0
inches of water respectively. The performance of corn hybrids at the
Black Belt Substation for 1 and 2 years is shown in tables 16 and 17
respectively. Maize chlorotic dwarf virus (MCDV) and maize dwarf
mosaic virus (MDlV) ratings were made on hybrids in the 1975 test at
the Black Belt Substation and are shown in table 16. Ratings were
made by Dr. R. T, Gudauskas, Department of Botany and Microbiology.
Results from preliminary tests are shown in tables 18-20. If a
hybrid is outstanding in these preliminary tests it is advanced to the
regular testing program the following year.
When comparing hybrids, small differences in yield may not be
real differences between hybrids but may reuslt 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~-year 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 subtracti
values for lodging, quality, and height of ears from its yield
0  
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 acceptal hybrids are not equal in performance
0
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 1976.
