Purdue Corn Performance Program
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-location 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. Two Year (2006-07) 2006-07 Central Early.xls 2006-07 Southern Early.xls 2007 Regional Summaries Central Early Summary.xls Southern Early Summary.xls <<More information about this location>> Washington was dry early in the season but received timely rainfall. Yield levels at this location are average to above average. <<More information about this location>> Shelburn This location had some emergence trouble so we cut back the population to 26,800ppa on every plot. <<More information about this location>> West Lafayette Weather was fairly good to us in W. Lafayette. We had timely rainfall in June and July. It must have been enough because the yields are very good. The Central Early and Mid test is all that we have harvested for now. <<More information about this location>> Butlerville: Yield levels are down slightly from normal due to the lack of rainfall. No weed pressure and good stands at this location. <<More information about this location>> <<More information about this location>> Columbia City (NEPAC) Yields were very good at NEPAC. Even though conditions were dry early there were enough isolated showers to keep plants from getting too stressed. LSD's were a little higher. I think because of the wide range in yields. <<More information about this location>> MIlford: Very good yields. Some stress due to lack of rain early in the season. Weed control was very good. <<More information about this location>> Wanatah, IN. (Pinney Purdue Farm) The northern locations seem to have been blessed with the best conditions. Very good yields, lots of sunlight and low weed pressure. <<More information about this location>> Muncie, IN. Data from this location is very similar to the conditions many farmers are experiencing, highly variable. We have decided to post the data but suggest that you use the multi-year summary and other available data for making hybrid selections. <<More information about this location>> Throckmorton Farm: Data from this location is very similar to the conditions many farmers are experiencing, highly variable. We have decided to post the data but suggest that you use the multi-year summary and other available data for making hybrid selections. Lodging at this location was due to strong winds in late August. <<More information about this location>> Rushville: Discarded due to uneven stands For more information about Purdue's corn performance trial, contact Phil DeVillez at pld@purdue.edu or 765/494-0406. |
