3 2012 Purdue Corn & Soybean Performance Trials Philip DeVillez and William D. Foster Department of Agronomy Corn Hybrid Performance This section of the bulletin summarizes results of the 2012 performance trials of commercial corn hybrids being sold in Indiana. The participating seed companies selected the hybrids for testing and mailed samples of seed taken from commercial seed lots to Purdue University for evaluation. The state is split into three regions, North, Central and South. In the north and central regions early, mid and late tests were established based on appropriate maturities. The tests established in the south were early and late.

Additional copies of this publication are available to Indiana residents from their local Purdue Extension Offices. This document can be accessed electronically at: Experimental Methods Predominant soil types or production levels commonly found in northern, central, and southern Indiana were represented by four locations in each region. At each location, plots consisted of four 30 inch rows, 23 feet in length replicated three times within a randomized complete block design. All data were collected from the middle two rows of the plot. Participating companies supplied relative maturity data for placement in trials. The plots were planted from pre-counted packets of seed using an air plot planter and harvested with a selfpropelled harvester without gleaning. Stand counts for each individual plot were recorded during the month of June. The percent stand was determined based on the number of kernels planted and the number of plants emerged, and therefore, indicates only germination and emergence losses. Average harvest moisture is presented for each hybrid and yield data are calculated in bushels of shelled grain per acre, adjusted to 15.5% moisture. No yield adjustment was made for stand except for continuous skips which are determined to be of mechanical origin. Lodged plants (stalks broken below the ear) were counted just prior to harvest. Each farm cooperator prepared the seedbed using conventional tillage practices and applied herbicides at labeled rates. Fertilizer application was based upon the management program of each cooperator and the desired plant population of each test. The planting population was 32,000 spa. 1

4 Understanding the LSD (least significant difference) The least significant difference (LSD) listed at the bottom of each table for each column of data should be used to determine if the difference between hybrids is due to performance differences or random chance. This bulletin presents data with an LSD of 10%. If the difference between two hybrids were equal to or greater than the LSD, the difference would be attributable to hybrid differences in 9 out of 10 (90%) instances when the two hybrids are evaluated under conditions like those of the test. A difference which is less than the LSD is likely due to chance. The top performing hybrids that are different due to only random chance are marked with asterisk. When no significant difference for a given parameter is found among hybrids, ns (non significant) replaces an LSD value. Suggestions for using these results to select top-performing hybrids. The results provide producers with an independent and objective evaluation of the performance of hybrids sold in Indiana. 1.Use multi-year data in tables 1-8 (2yr averages for corn) and tables (2yr averages for soybeans). 2.Use multi-location average data (corn tables 1A-9A) and (soybean tables 12A-18A). Consider single location results with extreme caution. 3.Evaluate consistency of performance of the hybrids you are interested in over years, across locations in other zones. A. Look for hybrids that are consistently in the top group (those with an asterisk). B. Beware of hybrids that have up and down performance. 4. Look at several other reliable, unbiased, independent trial results focusing on consistency. 5. Test hybrids on your farm. Try to get experimental numbers and put them in your test for two years. Remember you are taking a tremendous gamble if you make hybrid selection decisions based on one year yield comparisons in only one or two local test plots. Data format The performance data for each test within a region is reported in a table. Hybrids in each table are listed by yield in descending order. Comparisons can be made only between hybrids within a table. Comparing two hybrids from different tables (i.e. different environments and/or production levels) would likely lead to an erroneous conclusion. All trials were grown at four sites Description of Performance Trials Northern Early Trial: Hybrids with a relative maturity of 106 days or less. Northern Mid Trial: Hybrids with a relative maturity between 107 and 110 days. Northern Late Trial: Hybrids with a relative maturity of 113 days or less. Northern Non-GMO Trial: Hybrids with relative maturity of 110 days or less. Central Early Trial: Hybrids with a relative maturity of 108 days or less. Central Mid Trial: Hybrids with a relative maturity between 109 and 111 days. Central Late Trial: Hybrids with a relative maturity of 115 days or less. Central Non-GMO Trial: Hybrids with relative maturity of 113 days or less. Southern Early Trial: Hybrids with a relative maturity of 112 days or less. Southern Late Trial: Hybrids with a relative maturity of 113 days or more. Southern Non-GMO Trial: Hybrids with relative maturity of 110 days or more. 2
