2010 CORN PERFORMANCE TESTS IN TEXAS

Dennis Pietsch, Jurg Blumenthal, Steve Labar, and Seth Murray

INTRODUCTION In 2010, according to preliminary figures compiled by the Texas Agricultural Statistics Service (TASS), November 2010 (1), Texas farmers harvested 2.1 million acres of corn compared to 1.96 million acres in 2009, or a 7.1% increase. The 2010 acreage represents the largest corn acreage in Texas since 1994 when 2.04 million acres were harvested. Yield per harvested acre also increased from 130 bu/A in 2009 to 143.0 bu/A in 2010. Total production is estimated to be 300.3 million bushels. Using the October, 2010 bushel value, this amounts to a value of $1.553 billion. Of the six major crop reporting districts in Texas (Figure 1), only two districts showed a decrease in acreage. Acreage decreased in District 1-N and District 1-S, 4.28% and 12.2% respectively. Meanwhile, District 4, 8N, 9, and 10S reported an increase in acreage. The largest increase in acreage occurred in District 8N (Southcentral), where acreage increased by 51.6%, from 125,300 acres in 2009 to 190,000 in 2010. The High Plains of Texas, represented by Districts 1N and 1S accounted for 885,000 acres, or 42.1% of Texas’ harvested acres. Yield per acre in the High Plains, Districts 1N and 1S is estimated to be 211 bu/A and 200 bu/A respectively. The largest increase in yield occurred in District 8N and District 9. In District 8N, yield increased from 52.2 bu/A in 2009 to 109.5 bu/A, or 109.8%. In District 9, yield increased 94.2%, from 55.6 bu/A to 108.0 bu/A. Excellent growing conditions along with timely rainfall contributed to the yield increase. Also, 2009 was considered a very poor year due to extended drought conditions. This year, six irrigated and five non-irrigated test sites were evaluated in the major production areas of Texas. These performance tests give farmers the opportunity to assess hybrids and assist them in determining which hybrids are adapted for their area. Approximate locations of the 2010 test sites are shown in Figure 2. Irrigated tests are designated with an (I) and non-irrigated or rain-fed sites with a (NI).

CORN PERFORMANCE TESTING IN TEXAS Corn hybrids are evaluated annually for field performance at locations that are representative of Texas corn production areas (Figures 1& 2). This program is conducted by personnel from the Crop Testing Program, Texas AgriLife Research, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas under CRIS Project 1418; and is financed by fees from participating commercial seed companies (Table 1). A committee of representatives from the seed industry, Texas AgriLife Extension, Texas AgriLife Research, corn and grain sorghum commodity chairmen, and Texas Seed Trade representatives designates all locations annually. Test sites are on privately owned farms or at Texas A&M University AgriLife Research Centers. Commercial seed companies use the State Testing Program to determine the performance of their material at several locations under different and changing environmental conditions. Ranking order based on grain yield of a hybrid at a given location does not imply that it is recommended for that area. Data contained in this publication are a measure of relative performance of corn hybrids planted during a particular season at the locations shown. Commercial seed companies also have the opportunity to enter a corn supplemental test. The test is planted either behind or adjacent to the performance test. Companies can have experimental hybrids evaluated at a reduced entry fee rate. Data is to be used for “in-house” purposes only and not to be published.

ENTRIES AND REPORTS Official entry forms are mailed in January to everyone who has expressed an interest in the Texas corn performance testing program. The forms include the necessary information to make entries in any or all of the locations to be planted. There are no restrictions on the number of hybrids a company may enter, and experimental materials are accepted. Hybrids are entered on a fee basis under their brand name or number designation (Table 1). In addition, commercial and standard check hybrids were entered at the discretion of the Crop Testing Program at selected locations. Commercial checks are hybrids commonly grown in a respective area that were not already entered in the test and designated as "CHECK". After the test plantings are established, each participant receives directions and planting plan information for observation of the test block during the growing season. After the data has been statistically analyzed, results from each individual test site are put on the Internet and made available to participating companies, farmers, county extension agents, test cooperators, and anyone else who requests the information in a timely manner. A detailed publication combining all test results is produced at a later date.

FIELD-PLOT TECHNIQUES Seeds for each hybrid were hand-packaged to obtain a final plant population that was recommended for a respective area. Seeds were distributed by cones mounted on a JD 7100 Max-Emerge plot planter equipped with cones at all test sites. Cultural and agronomic practices adapted for general use in the area were used as determined by the cooperator. Field data was recorded at the appropriate time and other data collected at harvest. All locations were harvested with a JD 3300 plot combine that was equipped with the Harvestmaster Grain Gauge that measured plot weight, test weight, and grain moisture.

DATA The following agronomic data are reported. Each item listed may or may not be quoted in this report for each of the respective locations. Cob color--designated by companies when hybrids are entered: R = red, W =

white, P = pink. Grain color--designated by companies when hybrids are entered: Y = yellow, W =

white. Type GE--type of genetically enhanced traits submitted by companies. Days to silk--number of days from planting to the time that 50 percent of the plants

are showing silk. Plant height--number of inches from ground to top of tassel. Ear height--number of inches from ground to base of ear. Grain Moisture--determined at harvest with electronic equipment mounted on plot

combine. Moisture expressed in %. Plant population--expressed as plants per acre. Calculated from number of plants

in harvested plot x acre conversion factor. Percent Erect plants--percentage of plants in the harvest area from all replications

that are not lodged or broken below the ear. These counts were made at time of harvest.

Test weight--determined at harvest with electronic equipment mounted on plot combine. May or may not be presented at all test sites. Expressed as lb/bu.

Yield--determined by the following method: mean plot weight (in pounds) x acre conversion factor x (100 - mean moisture/100 - 15.5)/56. Yield is expressed in bushels per acre (bu/A). Yields are corrected to 15.5% moisture.

LSD--Least Significant Difference. A statistical parameter that measures the minimum difference between two entries to be considered statistically different. When two entries are compared and the difference between them is greater than the LSD, then the entries are judged to be significantly different at the 5% level.

CV--Coefficient of Variation. A statistical parameter used to estimate the degree of confidence one may have in published data from replicated tests. C.V.’s below 15% generally indicate reliable, uniform data whereas C.V.’s over 15% indicate a lack of precision, but the data may be useful for comparison

RESULTS This year, eleven performance test sites were planted and harvested, but data from only 10 sites were posted on our variety testing webpage. Due to a high C.V. (>40%), results from the Leonard site were not published, but data was sent to participating companies for their hybrids only. Comments regarding each site are presented with the agronomic data. Results of the performance test locations are presented as follows: 1. Tables 2-11 summarize agronomic and test data information. Comments

about the test follow the tables.

2. Tables 2A-11A show performance test information from the respective locations. Some hybrids were in the experimental stage and seed were not available in quantities for farm planting. These hybrids were designated by an experimental number. Individuals may contact seed companies in Table 1 for the availability of planting seed for a particular hybrid.

3. Tables 2B-11B are summaries of hybrids showing yields and ranks at

respective locations for the past 3-year period. Theses summaries are helpful in the selection of hybrids for a particular area. Hybrids not entered for a respective year are designated with a (--). Computer ranked hybrids with the same yields.

The test block was planted on February 18, which is usually within our “planting window”, however it is probably 10-14 days later than the optimum planting date for t his ar ea. S eedling em ergence was r apid and excellent plant stands were obtained. Timely rainfall in April and M ay i n addi tion t o t wo s upplemental i rrigations provided pl ants w ith am ple m oisture dur ing t he g rowing s eason. A g ood fertilization program provided the necessary plant nutrients for continuous plant growth and development. Prior to harvest, two m ajor w eather ev ents del ayed t he har vest dat e. F irst, Hurricane Alex dumped approximately 8.9” of rainfall on the test block between June 30 and July 1. This major weather event was accompanied by high winds. Then, appr oximately a w eek l ater, t he t est bl ock r eceived anot her 2. 6” of rain from another tropical storm. In all, a total of 11.5” of rain were recorded within a 10-day period.

Table 3. AGRONOMIC AND TEST INFORMATION: CORPUS CHRISTI TEST: 2010 Dryland Corn Performance Test LOCATION: Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center, Corpus Christi,

Texas COOPERATORS: Kenneth Schaefer, Dennis Pietsch, and Steve Labar SOIL TYPE: Victoria clay ROW WIDTH: 38" PREVIOUS CROP: Fallow LAND PREPARATION: In 2008, sorghum stalks were shredded, disked, chiseled, and

bedded. In 2009, test block was fallow and beds were not disturbed for the 2010 crop year.

DATE PLANTED: 3-5-10 with a JD 6100 Blackland planter PLOT LENGTH: 2 rows 22' FERTILIZER: 11-5-09: Applied 250 lb/A of liquid 23+16+0 + 8.0 lb/A of Tracite

(10% Zinc) and incorporated with a Lilliston cultivator 4-10-10: Side-dressed 340 lb/A of liquid 22+15+0 HERBICIDE: 3-6-10: Applied 1.3 pt/A of Dual II Magnum + 1 qt/A of Atrazine INSECTICIDE: None, seeds were requested to be treated with a seed insecticide RAINFALL: September ’09 =4.32”; October ‘09 = 2.51”; November ‘09 =

3.63”; December ‘09 = 3.66”; January ’10 = 2.46”; February = 4.25"; March = 1.12"; April = 2.10”; May = 0.25"; June = 5.64"; July = 5.00” Total = 34.94"

DATE HARVESTED: 7-27-10 with JD 3300 plot combine equipped with Grain Gauge SIZE HARVESTED PLOT: 2 rows, 22' TEST DESIGN: Randomized complete block NUMBER ENTRIES: 22 NUMBER REPLICATIONS: 4 NUMBER ROWS/PLOT: 2 MEAN PLANT POP: 18,818 plants/A TEST MEAN: 107.7 bu/A; yields corrected to 15.5% moisture TEST C.V.: 10.4%

COMMENTS: Contrary to 2009 when the test block was not planted due to very dry soil conditions, weather conditions were favorable for corn production at this Coastal Bend test site. The season started with a full profile of moisture from fall and w inter r ains. According t o r ainfall r ecords, t he T exas A griLife R esearch Center received 14.12” of rainfall from September, 2009 to December, 2009 and an additional 6.71” in January and F ebruary, 2010. D ue to wet soil conditions, planting was delayed until March 5, which is approximately two weeks later than the optimum planting date for this area. Rapid pl ant g rowth and dev elopment r esulted f rom abundant m oisture and a good fertilization program. Weed and g rass control was excellent. E arly plant stress w as obs erved dur ing t he silk stage, but t imely rains in J une al leviated stress and contributed to final yields. T he wind and rain from Hurricane Alex in late June did not have any ef fect on t he corn test. Lodg ing was observed, but damage was minimal. The test mean y ield was 107.7 bu/A with 17 hy brids producing between 101.3 and 125.2 bu/A. Excellent test weights were recorded with the range being from 55.5 lb/bu to 59.8 lb/bu. *** For further information about this report, contact Mr. Dennis Pietsch, Crop Testing Director, Texas AgriLife Research, College Station, TX (979) 845-8505, croptest@neo.tamu.edu Please visit the Crop Testing web page at http://varietytesting.tamu.edu

COMMENTS: This test, located near Tynan in Bee County, is representative of conditions i n t he C oastal B end A rea of T exas. Although most of the corn acreage in t he C oastal B end A rea i s pr oduced under nat ural r ainfall, t here i s some acreage produced under an i rrigated scenario using center pivot systems. Irrigation in this area is basically designed to be us ed as a s upplemental water source, if needed, instead of a primary water source when dry conditions persist. Over the past several years, it has been observed that timely applied irrigations in addition to well-distributed rainfall during the growing season have resulted in excellent yields in this area. For 2010, outstanding yields were achieved at this test site due to a combination of t imely r ainfall, ex cellent pl ant s tands, and good growing conditions. The season started with a full profile of moisture from abundant rainfall during the fall and winter months. The test was planted on March 4 which is approximately two weeks later than the optimum planting date for this area. Good g rowing c onditions t hroughout t he g rowing s eason i n addition to timely rains contributed to continuous plant g rowth and dev elopment. D ue t o t he beneficial rains, only 4.5” of irrigation water were applied to the test block. Pre-plant fertilizer, in addition to nitrogen appl ied t hrough t he c enter pi vot s ystem, provided the necessary nutrients required by the crop. Seeds for the test were packaged to obtain a final plant population between 28-29,000 plants per acre. T his year, due t o the abundant moisture and optimum growing c onditions, i t appear s t here w as a di rect correlation between plant density and y ield. I n most instances, lower densities did not produce as much grain as the higher densities did. This is reflected in the following table, as well as from reports by individuals in the surrounding area. The test mean yield was 188.8 bu/A compared to the past three year average of 130.0 bu/A. Four hybrids produced over 200 bushels per acre. Excellent bushel weights were al so at tained f rom t he t est, w ith t he test mean being 59.2 lb/bu. This was a very uniform test as reflected by the C.V. of 6.1%. *** For further information about this report, contact Mr. Dennis Pietsch, Crop Testing Director, Texas AgriLife Research, College Station, TX (979) 845-8505, croptest@neo.tamu.edu Please visit the Crop Testing web page at http://varietytesting.tamu.edu

COMMENTS: An opt imum pl anting dat e, t imely r ainfall, and excellent agronomic practices resulted in outstanding yields at this test site. An excellent seedbed w ith am ple m oisture f rom f all and w inter r ains w as av ailable f or t he March 5 planting date. S eeds w ere pac kaged t o obt ain a f inal pl ant s tand between 26 -27,000 pl ants/acre. Excellent stands were at tained w ith t he t est mean population being 26,100 plants per acre. Above normal rainfall occurred throughout the growing season. Four irrigations were applied to t he t est bl ock w hich i nsured c ontinuous pl ant growth and development. A g ood f ertilization pr ogram pr ovided t he necessary plant nutrients f or pl ant dev elopment. O ne aer ial appl ication of an i nsecticide controlled spider mite populations. Since the test block was comprised of both conventional and g enetically enhanc ed hy brids, a t ank mix of approved herbicides were used for weed and grass control. The t est m ean y ield was 178. 8 bu/ A compared t o t he pas t 3-year average of 163 bu/A. T hree hybrids pr oduced over 200 bu/ A. E xcellent bus hel weights were at tained with the range being from 56.4 lb/bu to 61.1 lb/bu. T his was a very uniform test as reflected by the C.V. of 5.32%.

Appreciation is expressed to Mr. Jason Ott for collecting flowering data and f or his assistance in monitoring the test block during the growing season.

COMMENTS: A combination of problems probably reduced potential yields at this test site, in part related to soil texture. There are several different soil types that are predominant in Wharton County. Soils range from heavy clay soils to light alluvial soils across the county. We have been using both a heavy clay soil as well as an alluvial soil to conduct our performance tests in this county. This year, the test site selected was a clay s oil ( Lake Char les c lay l oam), w hich w e r otate t o ev ery other year. Tillage operations prior to planting were delayed until early-March due t o w et f ields f rom abundant rainfall from October ’09 thru February ’10.

Due to the wet soil conditions and delayed tillage operations, the test block was not planted until March 15. This planting date is approximately three weeks later than the optimum pl anting dat e f or t his area. Consistent plant s tands were at tained and r apid plant growth followed. However, the test block received minimal rain for the remainder of March and only . 45” i n A pril. T hus, s oil m oisture w as r apidly depl eted as pl ants progressed from the vegetative stage to the reproductive stage.

During the silking stage, there appeared to be a problem within the test. Affected plants in certain rows showed symptoms of y ellowing, appear ed t o be s horter, and bot tom leaves w ere “ firing”. U pon c loser ex amination, i t w as det ermined that there w as a definite pattern across rows associated with the problem, not only in the test block, but also in the bulk field. On May 27, Dr. Dennis Coker, Extension Program Specialist--Soil Fertility, Department of Soil and Crop Sciences, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, assisted collection of ear-leaf samples f rom a representative eight-row planted pattern. Eight ear leaves from each of eight plants were selected from a single row as a c omposite sample. A ll s amples were submitted t o t he S oil, W ater, and For age Testing Lab, Texas A &M U niversity, C ollege S tation, T exas f or t otal ni trogen content determination. A nalysis f rom t he l ab c onfirmed w hat w e had s uspected, that a compaction pr oblem had dev eloped pr ior t o pl anting f rom tilling the c lay s oil at hi gh moisture content. The outer rows, away from the tractor wheels, showed a higher total nitrogen c ontent, while t he rows closer to t he t ractor w heels, had less t otal ni trogen content. Due to the compaction problem, plants in the affected rows were not able to acquire nitrogen as readily as the plants in the unaffected rows, thus showing nitrogen deficiency s ymptoms. H owever, beyond t he s ilk stage, it appeared plants in the affected rows had finally accessed more of the nitrogen available in the soil profile.

Harvest of the test block was delayed until August 18 due to excessive rainfall in July and early-August. Over 13.5” of rainfall were recorded in July. Most of the rainfall came from H urricane A lex i n ear ly-July, and t wo t ropical depr essions i n m id-July. T he test mean yield was 140.4 bu/A. However, potential yields were probably reduced due to the aforementioned problem. Despite the excessive rainfall, lodging was not a problem in the test. Good bushel weights were attained. *** For further information about this report, contact Mr. Dennis Pietsch, Crop Testing Director, Texas AgriLife Research, College Station, TX (979) 845-8505, dpietsch@ag.tamu.edu Please visit the Crop Testing web page at http://varietytesting.tamu.edu

COMMENTS: A combination of field preparation, planting and emergence factors resulted in below normal seedling emergence and plant populations, hence affecting final yields at this test site. The late harvest of the previous crop, cotton, combined with a wet fall and winter, resulted in the field site being too late to till. This problem exacerbated issues from a residual cotton herbicide not degrading. Furthermore, heavy early season rainfall after planting led to soil crusting issues, and further reduced seedling emergence. Once plant populations were established, moisture was generally adequate throughout the season, but supplemental irrigations were provided which insured continuous plant growth and development, and in one instance irrigation was used to incorporate fertilizer. The temperature during pollination, grain fill and maturity was high but not abnormal with around 30 days over 98º F, 14 days over 102º F, and 1 day reached 104º F. The test mean was 152.9 bu/A which was lower than the past 3-year average of 177 bu/A. This was primarily due to problems with stands as the mean population was 22,438 compared to the average of the previous three years means of 25,698. The causes of poor stands were explained previously. The test remained uniform throughout as evidenced by the reasonable C.V. which was similar to the average from previous three years. *** For further information about this report, contact Mr. Dennis Pietsch, Crop Testing Director, Texas AgriLife Research, College Station, TX (979) 845-8505, croptest@neo.tamu.edu Please visit the Crop Testing web page at http://varietytesting.tamu.edu

COMMENTS: This non-irrigated test site replaced the Granger site where we conducted performance tests for many years. Conditions at this site are still representative of the Central Texas Blacklands, Texas Crop Reporting District 4. District 4 is a major corn producing area in Texas. This year, farmers in this District harvested 570,000 acres of corn, or 27.8% of Texas’ 2.05 million acres. Conditions were not favorable for maximum corn production at this location. Due to wet soil conditions from fall and winter rainfall, no tillage operations were performed to the test block. Instead, the same beds (stale beds) were used this year as in 2009. Rainfall in early-March delayed the planting date until March 23, which is approximately four weeks later than the optimum planting date for this area. Early plant growth resulted from ample soil moisture; however, extended periods of hot and dry conditions rapidly depleted available soil moisture. Between April 1 and May 31, the test block received only 2.5” of rainfall. The demand for moisture at the end of May was critical, as plants moved from the vegetative to the reproductive stage. Plant stress was observed during the tassel-silk stage. A total of 2.6” of rain was recorded in June, but was too late to enhance final yields. The test mean yield was only 74.8 bu/A. This is the second consecutive year where drought conditions in this area have drastically affected final yields. In 2009, the Granger test was not harvested due to drought. Rapid “dry-down” of the test resulted in low grain moisture contents at harvest. Despite the drought conditions, bushel weights were considered good. Entries submitted by Texas AgriLife Research were planted in the test block, but were deleted from the table since these were open pollinated populations. *** For further information about this report, contact Mr. Dennis Pietsch, Crop Testing Director, Texas AgriLife Research, College Station, TX (979) 845-8505, croptest@neo.tamu.edu Please visit the Crop Testing web page at http://varietytesting.tamu.edu

COMMENTS: This test, located in Ellis County, is a major corn producing county in Texas Crop Reporting District 4, Texas Blacklands. It is estimated by the Texas Agricultural Statistics Service, that farmers in District 4 harvested 570,000 acres of Texas’ 2.05 million acres of corn in 2010, or 27.8%. For the third consecutive year, conditions were not favorable for maximum corn production at this test site. The season started with a full profile of moisture from fall and winter rains. Due to wet soil conditions, planting was delayed until April 1, which is approximately two weeks later than the optimum planting date. Seedling emergence was good, and rapid plant growth resulted from abundant soil moisture. Continuous plant growth and development resulted from a good fertilization program and timely rains in April and early-May. During the tassel-silk stage, plants showed signs of early plant stress. No appreciable moisture was received during this critical stage, and only 1” of rainfall was recorded in June, thus probably reducing potential yields. The test block received only 8.5” of rainfall from planting until physiological maturity. Basically, the crop was produced from subsoil moisture in addition to early-season rainfall. The test mean yield was 99.0 bu/A compared to the past 5-year average of 94.6 bu/A. It is interesting to note that over the past 5-year period, erratic weather conditions have been favorable only in 2007 when the test mean yield was 171.6 bu/A. *** For further information about this report, contact Mr. Dennis Pietsch, Crop Testing Director, Texas AgriLife Research, College Station, TX (979) 845-8505, croptest@neo.tamu.edu Please visit the Crop Testing web page at http://varietytesting.tamu.edu

COMMENTS: A c ombination of t imely r ains, g ood ag ronomic pr actices, and excellent plant stands resulted in outstanding yields at this Northern High Plains test site. The test block was planted on A pril 28 w hich is an opt imum planting date f or t his l ocation. I mmediately af ter pl anting, t he test block was irrigated which i nsured g ermination and ac tivated a t ank m ix of her bicides w hich w ere applied prior to planting. Excellent plant stands were attained as reflected in the following table. Excellent growing conditions persisted throughout the growing season. Moisture demands were met by applying irrigation water through the center pivot system, or by t imely rainfall. A total of 15” of rainfall was recorded during the growing season which is considered above average for this area. An excellent fertilization program provided the nutrients necessary for continuous plant g rowth and dev elopment. A nhydrous am monia was appl ied dur ing t he strip-till oper ation and several appl ications of 32 -0-0 w ere appl ied through t he center pivot system during selected irrigations. Phosphorus and potassium were not applied to the test block due to acceptable residual levels of each nutrient. Additional her bicides were appl ied l ater i n t he g rowing s eason t hat r esulted i n excellent weed and g rass control. A lso, an application of Comite and Headline were applied to the test block at the appropriate stage of growth. The t est m ean y ield w as 265. 5 bu/ A c ompared t o t he past 3-year av erage of 240.1 bu/A. Ten hybrids produced between 270.4 bu/A and 288. 7 bu/A. T est weights ranged from 54.2 lb/bu to 59.3 lb/bu with the test mean being 56.2 lb/bu. The incidence of lodging was minimal. Appreciation is expressed to Mr. Marcel F ischbacher, Texas AgriLife Extension Agent, Moore County, f or assisting in collecting notes and m aintaining the test site. *** For further information about this report, contact Mr. Dennis Pietsch, Crop Testing Director, Texas AgriLife Research, College Station, TX (979) 845-8505, croptest@neo.tamu.edu Please visit the Crop Testing web page at http://varietytesting.tamu.edu
