PERFORMANCE OF CORN HYBRIDS IN ALABAMA, 1987
D. L. Thurlow and W. C. Johnson
INTRODUCTION
Corn hybrids are evaluated annually by the Alabama Agricultural
Experiment Station in the Regular Corn Hybrid Test and the Preliminary
Corn Test on a northern, central, and southern regional basis.
The Marion Junction, or Black Belt Substation, corn test is used as the
prairie soil regional comparison. However, this test was abandoned in
1987 due to poor stand that was the result of insufficient rainfall at
the time of planting. A second planting was attempted, but again lack
of rainfall in June and July resulted in poor growth and no yield.
Entries in the preliminary tests are both experimental and newly
released hybrids. If a hybrid is outstanding in the preliminary test,
it is entered in the regular corn test the following year. White and
early corn hybrids are tested at one location in each region. One
regular and one white corn hybrid test are irrigated at Headland in
southern Alabama.
The locations and cultural practices for the tests are shown in
table I. The tests were designed as a randomized complete block with
four replications. Row width was 30 to 36 inches depending on location.
Two-row plots were used, with row length ranging from 20 to 30 feet
depending, again, on location. The target plant population for the
tests was 20,000 plants per acre with a seeding rate of 23,000 seeds per
acre. The irrigated tests at Headland were seeded at a rate of 30,000
plants per acre and thinned to 25,000.

Grain yields were adjusted to 15.5 percent moisture and converted
to bushels (56 pounds) per acre. Stalks broken or leaning more than 45
degrees were considered lodged. The mid-silk data measured the number
of days from planting until one-half of the plants in the plots were
showing silks. Bushel test weights are reported as regional averages
from this year's data.
To aid in determining real yield differences, a statistical
analysis of variance is performed on the data from each location. The
L.S.D. (least significant difference) and C.V. (coefficient of
variation) are given for each location's 1987 test. The difference in
yield of two hybrids must exceed the L.S.D. value for one hybrid to be
considered superior to the others in yield in that particular test. The
C.V. is a measure of the variability in an experiment. An increase in
its value indicates an increase in the unaccounted variability,
Since the performance of hybrids varies with location and year,
long-term averages from several locations are more reliable than 1-year
performance. Three-year regional averages are considered a reliable
evaluation of the relative performance of hybrids.
A committee comprised of Department of Agronomy and Soils and
Alabama Cooperative Extension Service personnel involved in corn
research reviewed the past 3 years of corn hybrid test data to assemble
the list of acceptable hybrids on page 24.
The recommended hybrids are not all equal in performance. Some are
outstanding in one or more characteristics; while others may not be
obviously outstanding, they might possess a satisfactory combination of
all characteristics.
