Corn Hybrid Evaluation at Maricopa, 2019

Corn hybrids for silage were evaluated in small plots at the University of Maricopa Agricultural Center.  The maturity range of the hybrids was approximately 115-120 days.  The trial was irrigated up on March 7, 2019 and harvested on July 15, 2019.  Various measurements were taken during the season including plant height, solar radiation interception, silking and tasseling dates, and initial and final stand.  Differences in yield and other parameters were detected among hybrids, but differences in forage quality parameters were not statistically significant.
