Book excerpt: A study was conducted to evaluate hybrids, plant populations, and harvest date for forage corn (Zea mays L.) yeld and quality traits. Fiven open-pedigree hybrids of different relative maturities were grown at Nashua, lowa in 1978, 1979, and 1980 at three plant population densities (50,423, 64,829, and 79,235 plants per hectare). A split-plot design was used for traits related to grain yield and a split-split-plot for traits related to forage production. Three differente harvest dates (30,45, and 60 days after mid-silk) were used to determine the relative values for forage traits. Combined analysis of variance detected significant linear effects among plant populations for all traits except mature grain weight, moisture content of mature grain, mature grain corrected for moisture, and harvest index. Harvest index did not show significant effects among plant populations. Increases in dry matter yield and decreases in dry matter content corresponded to increases in plant population levels for dry matter yield. Differences among hybrids were detected in the combined analysis of variance for all traits except dried ear weight and dried grain weight. The latest maturity hybrid (B73 ht x Mo17 ht) was higher and the earliest maturing hybrid (A619 ht x A632 ht) was lower in dry matter yield; na average increase of 20.3% in dry matter yield would be possible with the latest hybrid. Differnces among harvest dates in the combined analyses were significant for green stover weight, dried ear weight, dried grain weight; and harvest index, indicating linear effects. Phenotypic na genotypic correlations between traits for all hybrids, such as between mature grain yield corrected for moisture and dried stover weight (0.605 and 0.597), mature grain corrected for moisture and days to mid-silk (0763 and 0.804), and dried plant weight and days to mid-silk (0.992 and 1.00), were stimated. Relatively later maturing hybrids had acceptable levels of dry matter, crude protein, and digestible dry matter na could possibly be used for forage corn production in short season areas. Further research on qualitative and qualitative forage traits is necessary for developing breeding programs for forage corn.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cover crops slow erosion, improve soil, smother weeds, enhance nutrient and moisture availability, help control many pests and bring a host of other benefits to your farm. At the same time, they can reduce costs, increase profits and even create new sources of income. You¿ll reap dividends on your cover crop investments for years, since their benefits accumulate over the long term. This book will help you find which ones are right for you. Captures farmer and other research results from the past ten years. The authors verified the info. from the 2nd ed., added new results and updated farmer profiles and research data, and added 2 chap. Includes maps and charts, detailed narratives about individual cover crop species, and chap. about aspects of cover cropping.

Download or read book Influence of Planting Date Hybrid Maturity and Plant Population on Production and Quality of Irrigated and Non irrigated Corn for Silage written by D. G. Cummins and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corn was grown in the Coastal Plain at Midville, Georgia in 1970, 1971, and 1972 to (1) compare silage production and quality when planted at a normal date (mid-April) with that planted late to coincide with wheat harvest (June 1 ), and (2) to determine how hybrid maturity, plant population, and irrigation influence the response to planting date. The results cam be summarized as follow... 1. Highest mean dry forage yields were obtained from the normal planting date compared to the late date. The use of either short-or full-season hybrids, higher plant population, or irrigation did not over-come the yield loss due to late planting. 2. Forage quality measured by in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) was higher for the normal planting date as compared to the late date. This was due to higher ear and lower stalk percentages in the early planted forage. IVDMD decreased with increased plant populations at the late planting date in the irrigated experimental due to an increase in stalk content. Ear content was higher in the short-season hybrid and did not decrease as the population increased as compared to the full-season hybrid. 3. Although not copared statistically, mean yields and IVDMD were higher in the irrigated experiment than the non-irrigated experiment. These results indicate that altering management pratices did not improve production and quality of late planted corn to a level comparable to the normal planting date.
