2016 CORN PERFORMANCE TRIALS IN TEXAS
Ronnie Schnell, Dennis Pietsch, Katrina Horn, Seth Hirst, Jonathan Moreno, and Seth Murray
Introduction
Texas A&M AgriLife Research conducts the corn performance tests each year to provide growers in Texas with accurate and unbiased information on hybrid performance at locations across the state. Selection of superior hybrids that are well adapted for a given region is essential for maximizing yield and profit.
This year, seven irrigated and five non-irrigated test sites were planted in the major production regions of Texas. Major corn production regions include the Western Gulf Coastal Plain, Southern Texas Plains, East Central Texas Plains, Texas Blackland Prairies and High Plains. Approximate locations of the 2016 test sites are shown in Figure 1. A total of 337 entries were evaluated across 12 locations representing 65 unique hybrids from 13 commercial seed companies. Commercial seed companies enter hybrids into each trial location at their own discretion.
Performance trials are conducted by personnel from the Crop Testing Program, Texas A&M AgriLife Research, and financed by fees collected from participating commercial seed companies. Test sites are on privately owned farms or at Texas A&M University AgriLife Research Centers. All entries are randomized and replicated four times at each location. All test sites are managed according to practices common to each production region. Field maps and planting plans can be found at the link below shortly after planting. Following harvest, results are statistically analyzed and made available at: http://varietytesting.tamu.edu/corn/.
Suggestions for Selecting Hybrids and Varieties
Variety or hybrid selection is often the first decision a grower must make each crop year. The goal is to identify hybrids with superior performance (top yielding) for your environment. Many environments exist in Texas with significant variation within regions and across years, mostly due to variation in weather. Documented, consistent yield performance within a region is essential for selecting hybrids that will perform well on your farming operation. This means that evaluation of hybrids over multiple locations and years (when possible) is the best way to predict future performance. Exercise caution when using single location data to compare hybrid performance.
Following yield performance, other characteristics may be useful for selecting the best hybrid. Maturity or days to flowering may be important for selecting hybrids that are appropriate for your
1
growing season/conditions. Hybrids that possess insect or herbicide traits may be useful for managing various insect and weed pests found on your farm. While consistent yield will be the most important factor affecting hybrid selection, additional plant characteristics or traits could be used to select from hybrids with similar yield performance.

Field-Plot Techniques
Performance trials are conducted at each location using a randomized complete block design with four replications of each entry (hybrid). Seeds for each hybrid are packaged to obtain a final plant population appropriate for each production region and cropping system. Plots are generally 2 rows wide with row spacing ranging from 30 to 40 inches depending on location. Seeds are packaged to deliver 30 feet of planted row per plot. Seed is planted using a belt cone planter with John Deere MaxEmerge XP planter units at all sites. Following emergence, two feet of row are trimmed on each side resulting in 26 ft plots and 4 ft alleys. Alleys are maintained free of weeds throughout the growing season through mechanical or chemical control measures.
Cultural and agronomic practices adapted for each region are used as determined by the cooperator. Field data such as plant stands, plant height, ear height, silk dates and lodging are recorded at the appropriate times. All locations are harvested with a John Deere 3300 plot combine equipped with the HarvestMaster Grain Gauge that measures plot weight, test weight, and grain moisture. Field and harvest notes are compiled for each location and results analyzed.
Data Analysis and Reporting
Data from each location is analyzed statistically using SAS. Mean values for yield and additional agronomic data are presented in tables for each location. Mean values are derived from the average of all replications for each entry in each trial. Least Significant Difference (LSD) is a statistical test used that determines the minimum difference between two entries required to be considered having different levels of performance. Differences between entries (yield, plant height, etc.) less than the LSD value represents variation measurements due to factors other than hybrid performance, such as variation in soil type, soil moisture, fertility, insect or disease pressure, planting or harvesting procedures. Although numeric differences in yield or other measurements may exist, if two entries are within the LSD value, they should be considered to have equal performance. The Coefficient of Variation (CV) is used to determine the amount of variability in the data set relative to the mean and can be used to determine if the results are reliable. Generally, CV’s greater than 20% indicate that the data is unreliable and is not reported. However, each data set is evaluated individually to determine if results will be reported.
In the 2016 Corn Hybrid Characteristics table you will find agronomic data submitted by each company for their entries. Agronomic information provided by the companies about their hybrids are found in the list below and include items such as cob color, grain color and genetic traits. Agronomic data measured and collected by the Crop Testing program is described in the section below.
Agronomic Data as designated by each company:

Measured Agronomic Data:
Days to Silk: the average number of days from planting to the date when 50 percent of the plants within the plot are in some stage of silking (R1).
Plant Height: the average height in inches from ground to top of tassel.
Ear Height: the average height in inches from ground to base of ear.
Grain Moisture: the average moisture at harvest as a percent (%).
Plant Population: the average number of plants per acre at harvest.
Test Weight: is a measure of bulk grain density and is determined by the seed weight per unit of volume. This is measured at harvest and expressed as pounds per bushel.
Yield – Standardized to 15.5% moisture: expressed in bushels per acre (bu/acre) and calculated using [((100 – moisture (%) /84.5) * yield (lb/acre)/56].
In addition to individual site performance, information on multi-year performance for each site and regional performance is provided. Multi-year tables are presented as 2 and 3-year summaries of yield performance data. The entries are ranked according to hybrid performance in the current year. In addition, summaries for regional performance are provided. Regional summaries present the data as average relative yield. Relative yields are calculated for each site by calculating the yield for each hybrid as a percentage of the best performing hybrid. For example, if hybrid A is the top yielding entry at a particular location with a yield of 150 bu/acre and hybrid B yields 130 bu/acre, hybrid A would have a relative yield of 100% and hybrid B would have a relative yield of 87%. The relative yields are averaged across all locations for each production region. Average relative yield values less than 90% suggest inconsistent performance.
Rainfall
Available soil moisture during the growing season is often a limiting factor for corn production in Texas. Variation in rainfall patterns can be substantial within a production region and from year to year. A significant gradient in annual rainfall exist in Texas moving east to west. Often, it is useful to look at rainfall amounts for a given region based on the water-year. The water-year corresponds with hydrological cycles and runs from October 1 through September 30. In contrast to annual rainfall amounts, water-year analysis includes periods of time when soil profile moisture recharge can occur. The observed water-year totals are provided in Figure 2.
