Purdue Corn Performance Program

Welcome to the Purdue Corn Performance Program webpage. It is our goal to provide quality unbiased data for producers and companies.

If you don't see your favorite hybrid or company represented in the Purdue trials contact your seed representative and encourage them to participate.

Remember that multi-year, multi-l ocation data is best for predicting future hybrid performance. Single year and especially single site data is of very limited value when making hybrid selections for the coming year.

If you have questions or comments please contact me.

Columbia City (NEPAC) Dry conditions late in the summer hurt yields. Plot was in a good location. Mid test was in a lower area of the field and the yields reflect it. Early and late tests were on more sloping ground.

Milford Dry conditions were also a problem at Milford. The early trial was thrown out because of a subsoil sand vein that ran through the plot. Mid test was better and the late test was the best.
