1 RESULTS OF AGRONOMIC AND WEED SCIENCE RESEARCH CONDUCTED IN SOUTH CENTRAL MONTANA The Annual Report of the Investigations at and Administration of the Southern Agricultural Research Center, Huntley, Montana PROJECT TITLE: PROJECT LEADERS: PROJECT PERSONNEL: OBJECTIVES: METHODS: RESULTS and SUMMARY: Irrigated Hybrid Grain Corn Performance Trial near Huntley, Montana. (Exp ). Kenneth D. Kephart, Agronomist, SARC, Huntley Geraldine B. Opena, Research Associate, SARC, Huntley Tom A. Fischer, Research Specialist and Farm Foreman, SARC, Huntley To provide corn growers in south central Montana with a reliable, unbiased, upto-date source of information that will permit valid comparisons among improved corn hybrids for irrigated grain production. This information should help corn producers in south central Montana select hybrids best suited to this region of the state. For 2005, five sponsors submitted 32 corn hybrids for testing under irrigated conditions near Huntley, Montana (Table 1). Relative maturity ratings and other trait characteristics provided by the sponsors are presented in Table 2. The study was planted using a randomized complete block design with six replications. Test plots consisted of a 30-foot, 4-row plot with 30-inch row spacing. Each 30 foot row was planted with 69 seeds, equal to planting 40,075 seeds per acre or about 105 percent of the target population of 38,200 plants per acre. Planting depth was set 1½ inches deep. Plot stands were determined by counting the number of established plants along the two center rows at approximately the 3 to 4 leaf stage of crop development. Just prior to harvest, all plots were visually assessed for lodging. All rows of each test plot were trimmed 36 inches and the center 2 rows of each plot were harvested using an experimental-plot combine. Test weight (pounds per bushel, lb/bu) and percent grain moisture content were obtained for each plot using a Dickeyjohn GAC 2100N grain analyzer. Recorded grain yields were adjusted to 15.5% grain moisture content, and are reported in bushels per acre (bu/ac) based on a 56 pound standard bushel weight. Two and three year average yields are provided for entries previously tested in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Information pertaining to the specific cultural management of the study is listed at the bottom of Table 4. The frost-free period for the 2005 growing season at Huntley spanned from May 13 th to September 22 nd, 7 days longer than normal for this location (Table 3). The months of May, June, and August were abnormally cool. Total accumulated heat units (2,028 ºF, GDD corn ) for the season were only 65 ºF less than normal, or about 3 percent below the level of heat units normally expected to accumulate during this 132 day interval. Most of the discrepancy in accumulated heat units for the season occurred during grain fill (Figure 1). Nearly 5 inches of precipitation was received at this location from April 15 th through the first 10 days of May in Planting of the study was delayed until the third week of May, but soil moisture conditions were excellent for corn germination and emergence. Uniform stands were established among all entries by the end of May. The study was not exposed to freezing injury in 2005, compared to similar trials conducted during previous years. Final plant 7 pages total.
2 establishment varied from 87 to 98 percent, with only 2 entries establishing plants from less than 90 percent of the seed planted (Table 4). Figure 1. Accumulation of heat units (Growing Degree Days corn, ºF) near Huntley, Montana from May 13 to September 22, POR represents mean values based on temperature data collected on the same days at this location for a period of record from 1911 to Silking dates in 2005 varied by 6 days among the 32 entries (Table 4). On average, silking dates were 1 day earlier than those observed in 2004, but were 6 days later compared to silking dates observed among entries tested in Garst 8986YG1/RR, Hyland HL R228, Kussmaul SB2977 RR, Kussmaul SB384 RR, Kussmaul SB387 RR, Kussmaul SB690 Y-RR and Syngenta N27-M3 silked the earliest (July 28), while silk was not evident on Kussmaul K-593 and Kussmaul SB389 RR until August 3 during the 2005 season. All hybrids tested in 2005 displayed little or no lodging prior to October 3 rd, when 11 inches of heavy snowfall (1.84 precipitation) occurred. Very little direct ear drop was observed, but substantial differences were observed between hybrids in their ability to remain erect from this form of stress. Lodging scores, recorded just prior to harvest, varied from no lodging (score of 0.0) for Kussmaul SB492 RR-YG Plus and Syngenta N2555BT to substantial lodging for Kussmaul SB389 RR (score = 7.0), Kussmaul K593 (score = 7.7) and Kussmaul SB385 RR (score = 8.3), (Table 4). Stalk breakage above the ears was largely assumed to have little influence on the harvesting of the crop and was ignored during the scoring process. Little or no ear loss during harvesting occurred for plots receiving a score of 3 or less. Plots scoring 7 or higher possessed a high degree of stalk breakage below the ear, with higher scores reflecting an increasing amount of ears in direct contact with the ground. Adjusted corn grain yields averaged bushels per acre (Table 4), about 9 bushels per acre more than the trial harvested in Grain yield among entries in 2005 varied from bu/ac for Kussmaul SB690 Y-RR to bu/ac for Kussmaul K593. Only 11 of the 32 entries, Dyna-Gro 51P15, Garst 8872 CRW/RR, Hyland HL B264, Hyland HL R228, Hyland HL R234, Hyland Juxxin, Kussmaul SB2983 RR-YG Plus, Kussmaul SB387 RR, Kussmaul SB492 RR/YG Plus, Syngenta N2555BT and Syngenta N29-A2, produced mean yields from to bu/ac, statistically equal to that of the highest yielding hybrid, Kussmaul SB690 Y-RR. No statistical differences
3 in yield were detected between the 12 hybrids tested the past two years. Averaged across three years of testing, Syngenta N29-A2 produced the highest yield of bu/ac. The test weight of all hybrids tested in 2005 averaged 50.1 pounds per bushel, two pounds lighter than the average test weight measured for corn hybrids tested at this location in 2004 and nearly 8 pounds lighter than entries tested in Test weight among the 32 entries varied from 47.1 lb/bu for Kussmaul K593 to 53.5 lb/bu for Kussmaul SB387 RR. Grain moisture content at harvest (October 25 and 26, 2005) was quite high, varying from 18.9 percent for Hyland HL B264 to 29.4 percent for Hyland Juxxin. Similar to 2004, a random spot check of entries just prior to harvest revealed very few instances of complete kernel black layer development along the entire length of the ears, likely a result of the delay in silking combined with the slower than normal heat unit accumulation that occurred during the grain fill period of the 2005 growing season. Although grain yields were much better than expected among the 32 hybrids tested in 2005, the light test weights, high moisture content at harvest and lack of complete black layer development suggest most, if not all, entries had failed to reach physiological maturity before crop growth was terminated by fall freezing temperatures. Permitting the entries tested in 2005 to field dry below 15.5 percent moisture content before harvesting, would likely have improved test weights by 3 to 5 pounds per bushel. FUTURE PLANS: The irrigated corn hybrid grain evaluations will continue in 2006 at Southern Agricultural Research Center.
