Performance of Corn Hybrids in Alabama, 1981
Cliff Curriar
Corn hybrids are evaluated annually 
at 11 locations in the regular
corn hybrid testing program of the Alabaa 
Agricultural Experiment Station.
Preliminary tests are also conducted 
at one location in northern, central,
and soutbhern Alabama. Entries in the preliminary 
tests are both experimental
and newly released hybrids that have not been tested in the regular 
tests.
If a hybrid is outstanding in the preliminar y tests it 
is entered into the
regular testing program the following year. White corn 
hybrids are tested
at one location in each region. One regular and one white corn variety 
test
are irrigated at Headland in southern Alabama.
Relatively high yields were obtained at Fairhope, Caden, Marion Junction,
Crossville, Winfield, and Belle ina in 1981. Average test yields at other
locations ranged fromn 56 to 83 bushels per 
acre. Generally,lower than average yields
were caused by the lack of rainfall 
during the period of greatest requirement 
for
moisture by the .hybrids. Hybrids,which differed in maturity ,were affected
by the timeliness of rainfall.
Location of the tests, cultural practices, planting dates, and average
plant populations are shown in the table 1. All hybrids at a location were
treated the same.

The-experimental design was a randoized complete block with four rep-
lications. Row width was 36 to 40 inches depending on location. Two-
row plots were -used with . row length varying from 18-30 feet depnding
on location. The target plant population for all tests was 20,000 plants
per acre with. a seeding rate of 23,000 seeds per acre. The target plant
population for the irrigated test at Headland was 26,000 plants per acre
with a- seeding rate of 30,000 seeds per acre. After thinning, most plots
maintained the desired plant populations..
Grain yields were adjusted to 135.5 percent moisture and converted
to bushels (56 pounds) per acre. Stalks: broken or lea g more than
45 degrees were considered lodged.. Ear rot, earwor damage, grain size,
and color were used to rate grain quality. Height or ears was measured
from ground level to the base of the ear. Husks were rated 
according to
tightness and extension beyond the tip of the ear. The mid-silk date'
measured, the number of days from planting until one half of the plants
in the plots were showing silks,
Regional averages for 3, 2, and 1 years in northern Alabama are
presented, in tables 2, 3,. and 4, respectively. Table 5 contains yields
by location,, and regional average yields for 1 to 5 years in northern
Alabama. Similar data are given for central Alabama in tables 6-9, and
for southern Alabama in tables 10-13. Three, 2-, and 1-year averages
for the irrigated test at'Headland are shown in tables 14, 15, and 16,
respectively. In 1981, approximately 1.3 inches of sprinkler irrigation
water was applied on June 4, 10, 15, 18, 22, and 29. Approximately 8 inches
-3-
of irrigation water was applied 
over this period of time. Data 
from
the test at Marion Junction are given 
separately from the results of
of central Alabama and should 
be used to assist in comparing hybrids
grown in that area. Performance 
of corn hybrids at Marion Junction
for 3, 2, and I years are given in tables 17, 18, and 19, 
respect-
ively. Yields and other characteristics 
of white corn hybrids
grown at Crossville, the E. 
V. Smith Research Center, and Headland
are given in tables-20-24. 
Results of the preliminary 
test are given
in tables 27-29.
The corn hybrid tests are examined each year for viral 
and other
disease symptoms by Dr. R. T. Gudauskas, Department 
of Botany, Plant
Pathology, and Microbiology. When virus disease 
symptoms indicate
that damage may occur, disease ratings are compiled 
and published in
this report. An introduction and discussion of the procedure and re-
sults are given. Virus infection data from the hybrid 
test at Marion
Junction and Winfield are given in tables 25 and 26, respectively.
When comparing hybrids, small differences in yield 
may not be
large enough to be considered real differences. To 
aid in determining
real differences between yields a statistical procedure, 
analysis of
variance, was performed on the yield data from each location. 
The
L.S.D. (least significant difference) and C.V. (coefficient 
of variation)
are given for yields at each. location in 1981. When 
comparing two
hybrids, the difference in their yield must 
exceed the L.S.D. value to'
be considered a real difference.
Since performance of hybrids varies with 
years and locations,
long-term averages from several locations 
are more reliable than 1-year
locat-ion averages when vaza-m-t ing a. hybrid fr= an

Viral Disease Reactions of Some Rybrids in 1981
Robert T. Gudauskas
Department of Botany, 
Plant Pathology,
and Microbiology
The two most prevalent viral diseases of corn in Alabaa are maize
chlorotic dwarf (MCD) caused 
by the maize chlorotic dwarf virus 
(MCDV),
and maize dwarf mosaic (MDM) caused by the maize dwarf virus (MDMV). Dis-
covery of MDM in the State dates -back to the early 1960's, while MCD has been
recognized only since 1973. Both diseases probably occur throughout 
Alabama;
however, they generally have been more prevalent and damaging in the northern
two-thirds of the State.
Symptoms of the two diseases are similar in appearance and sometimes
diffidult to distinguish. Generally, affected plants are chlorotic or dis-
colored and may be stunted. Leaves of MDM-diseased plants show an irregular,
light and dark green mosaic or mottle; the initial symptom of MCD is a fine,
chlorotic streaking over the smallest veins.
The casual viruses are spread by feeding activities of insects. MCDV
is transmitted by certain leafhoppers. and MDMV is carried by some aphids.
Both viruses have similar host ranges among a variety of wild and cultivated
grasses. Johnsongrass is an important overseasonor reservoir host for the
viruses, and MCD and MDM incidence and damage usually are high in corn fields
that are heavily infested with jobnsongrass.
Use of resistant or tolerant cornhybrids and the control or avoidance
of johnsongrass infested areas are the most practical controls of MCD and YDM.
Commercial and experimental hybrids are evaluated yearly to identify resistant
hybrids or promising sources of resistance to the diseases. Results of evaluations
of some commercial hybrids during 1981 are summarized in this report.

FROCEDURE
Viral disease ratings were made on 
entries in the corn hybrid test 
at
the. Black. Bel Substation, Marion Junction, 
the Tennessee Valley Substation,
Belle Mina, and the Upper Coastal Plain 
Substation at Winfield. Plants 
showing
symptoms of MDI and/or MDM were counted and data are reported as percent in-
cidence of viral diseases for each hybrid.
RESULTS
The incidence of MCD was unusually low in corn throughout Alabama in
1981, whi e MDM reached usual or higher-than-usual levels in most areas
where it normally occurs.
At the Black Belt Substation (table .25), incidence of IDM ranged 
from
0-73 among hybrids and averaged 1
6 
for the entire test, as compared to a.
range of 0-13% and an overall average .of 2.3% for MCD. None of the 
hybrids
appeared immune to. both diseases; however, several showed 
a very low incidence
of either disease, e.g. Cargill 951, DeKalb L72B,. DeKalb XL394, Funk's. G-4740,
Golden Harvest H-2745, Golden Harvest H-2660W, 
Gutwein MM 2885, McCurdy 7878,
McCurdy 8225, Northrup King PX95,.Paymaster UC9532, Pioneer 3145, and Pioneer
3147.
Incidence of :DM and MCD was insignificant at. the Tennessee Valley Substation,
In the test at the Upper Coastal Plain Substation (table 26), incidence
of MM ranged. from 0-30%' and averaged 6.7% overall; that. for MCD ranged from
0-11.and averaged 2.5%. No symptoms of MDM or MCD were found in DeKalb XL94,
-Funks.G-4810,. and Gutwein 62, and' incidence of either 
disease was less than
5% in several other hybrids.
Uybrids showing relatively greater resistance or tolerance 
were apparent.
Under conditions of higher or lower incidence of viral disease 
hybrids
would be expected to retain their relative ranking. When 
selecting a hybrid,
viral disease reactions should be taken into account for areas where the.
-41-
diseases occur, along with consideration of yield 
and other characteristics
given elsewhere in t rhis report.
