Introduction This publication reports the results of corn hybrid trials that were conducted by NDSU research and Extension personnel throughout North Dakota. The hybrids tested were entered voluntarily by the companies that market them, and the management of these trials was financed partially by the entry fee those companies paid. Links to the participating companies are summarized in Table 1. Additional information and data for a given location may be available at and When selecting a hybrid, look at its performance at multiple locations and/or across years if possible. Corn Production and Weather in 2015 In 2015, the area of corn harvested in North Dakota was 2.55 million acres. This was down from 2.75 million acres harvested in The average yield for the state in 2015 was estimated at 128 bushels per acre, up slightly from the 124 bushels per acre recorded in Conditions were favorable for early planting in 2015, although in some cases, the ground was a bit dry for optimum emergence. Mid-May was cold and wet, impacting emergence in fields that had been planted just prior to the rain. Growing degree accumulations were near normal for the season, so in general, the crop finished well and harvesting started early. Experimental Procedures Hybrids were planted in replicated plots in each location. Plot size, number of replications and experimental design varied by location. Information regarding planting and harvesting dates and other management practices is available from the researchers implementing the research. Grain yield was adjusted to 15.5 percent moisture. Data Analysis Data were analyzed using analyses of variance (ANOVA). Least significant differences (LSDs) at the 5 and 10 percent levels were calculated from these analyses and are placed at the bottom of each column of data. These LSD values apply only to the numbers in the column in which they appear. If the difference (for instance, for yield) between two varieties exceeds the LSD value, it means that with 95 or 90 percent confidence, the higher-yielding variety has a significant yield advantage. Conversely, when the difference between the means of two varieties is less than the LSD value, this indicates they have no statistical difference between them. The coefficient of variation (CV), which also is placed at the bottom of each column, is a measure of the variability for that trait within the trial. Hybrids are ranked in descending order for yield in each table. Carefully consider grain moisture at harvest in addition to yield. Comparing the yield of hybrids with similar moisture levels allows you to compare the yield of hybrids with similar relative maturities (RMs). The RMs listed in the tables have been provided by the company marketing these hybrids. In some cases, the industryprovided estimate of RM might not correspond precisely to the moisture levels obtained in trials reported in this publication. Fargo, North Dakota December
