2015 CORN CROP REVIEW
Statewide Growing Conditions
Harvest Statistics
The 2015 growing season was generally very
favorable for the corn crop in Kansas if producers
could get it in the ground. Planting was interrupted
from May until June for much of the state as frequent
rains delayed field activity.
The September 11 Crops Report predicted a 555
million-bushel crop, down 2% from last year’s
production. The anticipated number of acres to be
harvested for grain is 3.75 million, down 1% from last
year. The predicted average yield of 148 bushels per
acre is down 1 bushel from last year. (Kansas
Agricultural Statistics Service, Topeka)
Corn planted prior to May enjoyed excellent early
growth from the abundant topsoil moisture (Figure 1)
and mild temperatures. The frequency of rains slowed
during the summer months but still provided timely
relief for the growing crop in most areas of the state.
This corn had relatively few stresses to reduce grain
quality and more than half of the crop was rated good
or excellent throughout the season (Figure 2).
Diseases
Many growers harvested corn with above average
yields across a large portion of the state. That being
said, yields in many fields could have been another
ten to thirty percent higher if timely fungicide
applications would have been made. There were two
significant foliar disease issues in Kansas during the
2015 growing season.
Corn planted later in the season suffered slow grain
drydown and greater incidence of disease and lodging,
but overall the 2015 Kansas corn crop saw aboveaverage yields and high-quality grain. (Crop-Weather
Reports, Kansas Agricultural Statistics, Topeka)
Gray leaf spot developed early, and with the cloudy,
rainy weather in the eastern half of the state in May
and June, it reached record setting levels. 2015 had
the highest observed gray leaf spot levels in the 25
years that the disease has been present in Kansas.
Unfortunately, because of low crop prices, many
growers decided not to make the investment in a
fungicide application and that was a mistake in many
fields. One estimate from a private consultant
indicated that 50% of the dryland and 75% of the
irrigated corn in the McPherson County area had
treatable levels of gray leaf spot.
The other significant foliar disease problem was
southern rust. Southern rust moved up into Kansas
almost a month earlier than normal thanks to tropical
storms that pushed it up our way through Louisiana
and Arkansas. Fields that were planted before May 1
escaped significant damage even though the disease
was present in almost every field in southeast Kansas.
Fields that did not get planted until June in southeast
as well as other parts of Kansas, and there were many
of them, had levels of southern rust that were
economically damaging. There are not good records
of how much spraying might have been done, but like
with gray leaf spot, low crop prices caused
many growers not to spray.
Figure 1. Statewide status of topsoil moisture
Other foliar diseases that were reported but did not
require action included Holcus spot and northern corn
leaf blight. There were considerably fewer reports of
Goss’s leaf blight in 2015 compared to the previous
Figure 2. Condition of 2015 Kansas corn crop

two years. Lack of severe storms with hail early in
the season may be partially responsible for that.
treated with systemic insecticides, which can affect
yield in some situations. A column listing insecticide
seed treatments for each hybrid is included in Table 9
to help interpret yield results.
Late in the season, three diseases were prominent.
Fusarium stalk rot and charcoal rot could be found in
many fields across the state, although there were no
reports of any serious lodging. Even without lodging,
yield losses occur in fields with stalk rot due to much
smaller ears on infected plants. In central and south
central Kansas, many fields had significant levels of
Diplodia ear rot. Heavy rains during the pollination
period are favorable for the development of this
disease. Hybrid selection is the only management tool
for Diplodia. (Doug Jardine, Kansas State University
Department of Plant Pathology)
Three to four plots (replications) of each hybrid were
grown at each location in a randomized completeblock design. Each harvested plot consisted of two
rows trimmed to a specific length, ranging from 20 to
30 feet at the different locations.
Explanatory information is given in summaries
preceding data for each test. Tables 2 through 8
contain results from the individual performance tests.
Hybrids are listed together by company name. A
summary of growing season weather data is given for
individual test discussions. Precipitation graphs
include cumulative lines for 2015 and the 30-year
normal, in addition to the daily rainfall amounts since
last fall. Temperature graphs include daily maximum
and minimum temperatures compared with normal.
General trends in precipitation and temperature
relative to normal are readily observed in the graphs.
A table with monthly totals and averages for the
growing season also is included.
Insects
Growers in southeast Kansas reported some early
season problems with black cutworms. Commercial
corn seed is treated with insecticides. These provide
very effective protection for seed and seedlings for 34 weeks for those pests listed on the label. However,
black cutworms are not susceptible and they usually
infest 3-4 weeks after planting anyway.
Some whorl stage defoliation was observed all over
the state, mainly by fall armyworms, but this had very
little impact on yield. Worms in whorls are not
vulnerable to insecticides, so very little can be, or
should be, done about these ‘ragworms.’
Grain yields are reported as bushels per acre of
shelled grain (56 lb/bu) adjusted to a moisture content
of 15.5%. Yields also are presented as percentage of
test average to speed recognition of highest-yielding
hybrids. Hybrids yielding more than 100% of the test
average year after year merit consideration.
Adaptation to individual farms for appropriate
maturity, stalk strength, and other factors also must be
considered.
Corn rootworms also continue to be problematic in
fields continuously planted to corn for 3+ years. Even
those varieties with Bt rootworm protection need to
be rotated or resistance will develop.
A few spider mite problems were reported from
southwest Kansas, but overall, it seemed to be a
relatively good year for growing corn in Kansas.
(Holly Schwarting, Kansas State University
Department of Entomology)
Small differences in yield should not be
overemphasized.
Relative ranking and large
differences are better indicators of performance. Least
significant differences (LSD) are shown at the bottom
of each table. Unless two hybrids differ by at least the
LSD shown, little confidence can be placed in one
being superior to the other. Yield values in the top
LSD group in each test are displayed in bold. The
coefficient of variability (CV) can be used in
combination with the LSD to estimate the degree of
confidence one can have in published data from
replicated tests.
2015 PERFORMANCE TESTS
Objectives and Procedures
Corn performance tests, conducted annually by the
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, provide
farmers, extension workers, and seed industry
personnel with unbiased agronomic information on
many of the corn hybrids marketed in the state. Entry
fees from private seed companies finance the tests.
Because entry selection and location are voluntary,
not all hybrids grown in the state are included in tests,
and the same group of hybrids is not grown uniformly
at all test locations. Most companies submit seed

Excerpts from the
University Research Policy Agreement with Cooperating Seed Companies
Permission is hereby given to Kansas State University (KSU) to test varieties and/or hybrids designated on the attached entry forms
in the manner indicated in the test announcements. I certify that seed submitted for testing is a true sample of the seed being offered

I understand that all results from Kansas Crop Performance Tests belong to the University and the public and shall be controlled by
the University so as to produce the greatest benefit to the public. Performance data may be used in the following ways: 1) Tables may
be reproduced in their entirety provided the source is referenced and data are not manipulated or reinterpreted; 2) Advertising statements by an individual company about the performance of its entries may be made as long as they are accurate statements about the
data as published, with no reference to other companies’ names or cultivars. In both cases, the following must be included with the
reprint or ad citing the appropriate publication number and title: “See the official Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment
Station and Cooperative Extension Service Report of Progress 1120, ‘2015 Kansas Performance Tests with Corn Hybrids,’ or the
