Entry fees from private seed companies help finance the tests. Seed companies receive test announcements and entry forms in late January each year; deadlines for receipt of completed entry forms and seed are in early March. Because entry selection and location are voluntary, not all hybrids grown in the state are included in tests, and hybrids are not grown uniformly at all test locations. In 1992, several short-season corn performance tests were added. Procedures for these tests were similar to those for the full-season tests, except where noted. This series of tests targets evaluation of corn hybrids for use in early-planted, short-season, cropping systems. Hybrids with adequate heat and drought tolerance are needed for these systems. These hybrids often will be subjected to severe heat and drought stress in July and August. These systems typically are utilized on soils with poor water-holding capacities. Early-maturing hybrids often are able to escape a good portion of the typical stress if they can be planted early. Utilization of short-season hybrids under irrigation often is related to the desire to reduce irrigation inputs or to facilitate specific crop rotations. Beginning in 1994, standard corn performance tests were divided into groups based on hybrid maturity. The early group included hybrids with 110 or fewer days to black layer. The medium group included hybrids with 111-115 days to black layer. Hybrids listed as greater than 115 days to black layer were included in the late group. This minimizes competitive effects caused by maturity and emphasizes comparisons between hybrids of similar maturity. Maturity groupings were made within each replication to provide valid comparisons between hybrids within a maturity group and between hybrids in different maturity groups. A summary of growing-season weather data is given in individual test discussions. These data are from the nearest weather-reporting station and often are supplemented with information from the test site. Precipitation graphs include cumulative lines for 1994 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. Growing degree graphs include cumulative lines for 1994 and normal. All graphs include vertical lines indicating planting, silking, and harvest date if, available. General trends in precipitation and rainfall relative to normal are readily observed in the graphs. For more detailed information, a table is included with monthly totals and averages for the growing season. Comparisons of the current year's weather with long-time averages often help explain unusual plant development patterns and inconsistent performance of individual hybrids over years. Explanatory information is given preceding data summaries for each test. Tables 1-15 contain results from individual locations of the standard corn performance tests. A yield summary (Table 16) presents yields as a percent of the average for each maturity at each location. Tables 17-22 contain results from the short-season tests. Table 23 lists yields expressed as a percent of the test averages from the short-season tests. The 1994 entrants, entries, and some additional descriptive information are listed in the Appendix. In most tests, corn was planted at a heavy rate and thinned to desired populations several weeks after planting. This reduced the chance that seed -1- This publication from the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service has been archived. Current information is available from http://www.ksre.ksu.edu. vigor and germination of particular seed lots might influence yield and increased the probability that genetic yield potential would be measured instead. Some short-season tests were planted to stand with no thinning. Tractor-powered, modified, White air-planters were used for nearly all tests. Except for the Finney County test where space was limited, four plots (replications) of each hybrid were grown at each location in a randomized complete block design. In most of the standard tests, hybrids of similar maturity were grouped with each other in each replication. In two tests (Greeley Co. dryland and Thomas Co. dryland), four-row plots were used and hybrids of all maturities were randomized within each block. Each harvested plot consisted of two rows trimmed to a specific length ranging from 20 to 45 feet at the different locations. Tests were harvested with Gleaner-E combines equipped with automatic weighing and sampling devices. GRAIN YIELDS are reported as bushels per acre of shelled grain (56 lbs/bu) adjusted to a moisture content of 15.5%. BUSHEL YIELDS are given but also are converted to YIELDS AS PERCENTAGES OF THE TEST AVERAGE to speed recognition of highest- yielding hybrids (more than 100%, the test average). In tests with maturity groupings, percent of test average was calculated using the average of each group rather than the average of the entire test. Hybrids yielding more than the test average year after year merit consideration, but adaptation to individual farms for appropriate maturity, stalk strength, and other factors also must be considered. The number of LODGED and DROPPED EARS is reported, when appropriate. Plants broken over below the ear were considered LODGED, although many were harvestable with modern machinery. Severely lodged stalks or dropped ears that could not be picked up by normal harvest procedures are not included in yield. Because harvest often is delayed until latest maturing entries are ripe, early and mid- season hybrids could lose ears simply because they must wait well past their optimum harvest date, but the level of lodging and ear droppage was very low in most tests, minimizing this potential problem. Percent GREEN BREAK is reported for some tests. This is an estimate of the percent of plants broken off prior to grain filling and senescence. Most of the green break in 1994 was related to a July 1 windstorm that moved through northcentral and northeast Kansas. Relative maturity is measured in terms of both GRAIN MOISTURE AT HARVEST and NUMBER OF DAYS FROM PLANTING TO SILKING at most locations. Relative moisture at harvest usually is a better maturity indicator, unless harvest is delayed. Hybrids are listed first from lowest to highest grain moisture and then from fewest to most days to silking within each moisture level. This emphasizes the maturity differences of the hybrids in addition to yield performance. Maturity can be critical when considering a corn hybrid for a specific cropping system. The GROWTH UNIT or GROWING DEGREE DAY concept was developed to measure the amount of heat available for growth and maturation. The formula used to generate the monthly totals in individual test discussions follows: Take the maximum temperature plus the minimum temperature for each day, divide by 2, and then subtract a base temperature of 50 each day. Any temperature below 50F was considered to be 50, and any temperature over 86F was called 86. Growth unit accumulations for the current year are compared with the long-term average or 'normal' for each test. Small differences in yield or other characteristics should not be overemphasized. Least significant differences (L.S.D.'s) are shown at the bottom of each maturity group for comparisons within that group and at the bottom of each performance test table for comparisons between maturity groups. Be sure to use the correct L.S.D. for the comparison of interest. Unless two entries differ by at least the L.S.D. shown, little confidence can be placed in one being superior to the other. The coefficient of variability (C.V.) can be used to estimate the degree of confidence one may have in published data from replicated tests. In this testing program, C.V.'s below 10% generally indicate reliable, uniform data, whereas C.V.'s of -2- This publication from the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service has been archived. Current information is available from http://www.ksre.ksu.edu. 10 to 15% are not uncommon and usually indicate that data are acceptable for the rough performance comparisons desired from these tests. Tests with C.V.'s over 15% still may be useful, but hybrid comparisons lack precision. 1994 STATEWIDE GROWING CONDITIONS Favorable growing conditions over most of the state made 1994 a record-setting year. After a warm March, April's below-normal temperatures slowed initial growth. Replanting was necessary in the southeast after heavy rains in mid-April and in other areas after late-April freezes. Many other fields suffered freeze damage but were able to recover without replanting. Warm temperatures enabled rapid vegetative growth during May and June. Surface soil moisture was short over much of the state in late May and early June, but subsoil moisture was usually adequate during that time period. Cooler temperatures and timely rains in July and August facilitated good seed set, setting the stage for high yields. Harvest was underway in early September. Clear weather during most of September and October enabled farmers to harvest the crop under ideal conditions. All of the crop was out of the field by mid-November, well ahead of the 5-year average. For most of the season, nearly 99% of the crop was rated fair or better. From late July through the end of the season, 75% or more of the crop was rated good or excellent except for one report at the end of August. (From Crop-Weather reports, Kansas Agricultural Statistics, Topeka.) The usual complement of insects was found in Kansas corn fields in 1994. Wireworms caused some seedling damage in south central fields. Cutworms damaged areas within fields in eastern Kansas. European corn borers began showing up in late May in the east. This pest was often present, but typically not in damaging populations. Southwestern corn borers caused damage in many south central corn fields, but were present in relatively light populations in southwestern and western areas. Spider mite infestations reached treatment levels in the southwest in July. Treatment for this pest moved north in subsequent weeks. Western corn rootworms occasionally damaged fields in western Kansas. (Insect information from Cooperative Economic Insect Survey Report, Kansas State Board of Agriculture.) Disease damage was light across most of the state this year. Some damping off was noted early in the season. The April freezes may have made these fields more susceptible to this disease. Foliar diseases such as common maize rust, viral mosaic, Stewart's wilt, northern leaf blight, and gray leafspot were present, especially in central and eastern areas, but caused little large-scale damage. Rapid maturation of the corn crop in late August further limited the potential damage from these diseases. High Plains tenui virus was found in association with wheat streak mosaic virus in mid July in a field near St. John. By late July, the disease was noted at several locations scattered across western Kansas. In mid-August, American wheat striate mosaic was found for the first time in corn in Kansas. Toward the end of the season, charcoal rot was found in some fields. Several ear rots also were noted, especially in the southeast. These included Rhizopus ear rot, Fusarium kernel rot, Cladosporium, and Penicillium ear rot. (Disease information from Plant Disease Survey Report, Kansas State Board of Agriculture.) The November 9 Kansas Agricultural Statistics report predicted a record 321.0 million bushel crop, up 49 percent from 1993. This production is from 2.14 million harvested acres, up 340,000 acres from last year. The predicted average yield of 150 bushels per acre matches the record set in 1992. (From Crops Report November 9, Kansas Agriculture Statistics.) ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Cooperation of Research Center and Experiment Field personnel who furnished land and performed many or all of the field operations is sincerely appreciated. Technicians Edward O. Quigley and James R. Cochrane packaged seed and performed field operations for some of the tests. Student workers Marsha Heeb, Lisa Heighert, Shuna Hughart, Melinda Fundenberger, and Dallas Rogers helped with seed counting, sign painting, and thinning. Mary Knapp of the Extension Weather Data Library provided much of the climatological information. -3- This publication from the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service has been archived.

The damage was so extensive that yields were determined more by the level of breakage than by the hybrids' performance potential. For that reason, no yield data for 1994 are presented in the table.

Growing conditions were favorable for most of the season with no visual evidence of moisture stress. Severe winds in early June caused many plants to lean severely, but most of these plants recovered with little permanent damage. The medium group had the highest yields, but differences between hybrids within this group were not significant according to statistical tests.

After replanting, conditions were favorable for outstanding corn yields. Two early hybrids were damaged severely by raccoons. Several other hybrids suffered only occasional damage. Undamaged portions of the affected plots were harvested to provide yield estimates that reflected hybrid performance rather than raccoon preference. Leaf rust was noted late in the season but probably reduced yields very little.

Some rows that fell directly on last year's wheat rows were delayed in germination and emergence. This likely contributed to variability in final yields. However, yields in general were excellent for dryland corn production at this location because of above-normal precipitation through July. Hot, dry, windy conditions in August and September prevented even higher yields. (Weather data and graphs presented with irrigated test information, page 31.)

As might be expected under irrigation in a normal growing season, the early hybrids yielded less than the medium or late hybrids. Little difference in yield occurred between the medium and late groups, although the medium group had lower grain moisture and higher test weight averages. Insect and disease damage was minimal.

Those hybrids with lower stands tended to have lower yields as well. Dry weather during May and late June reduced yield potential. A windstorm in early June caused most plants to lean severely. Most hybrids were fully mature by mid to late August. (Weather data and graphs presented with standard test results, page 17). TABLE 17. FRANKLIN CO.

An April freeze killed the plants to the soil surface, delaying early-season growth. Moisture and heat stress during silking and pollen shed prevented full pollination of several hybrids. Continued moisture stress later in the season caused severe ear drop for some hybrids. For these reasons, 1994 yields are not reported. TABLE 19. RENO CO.

SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS SHORT-SEASON CORN TEST ON SANDY SOIL, IRRIGATED TEST YIELDS: Average: 157 bu/acre Range: 129 to 177 bu/acre L.S.D.: 20.9 bu/acre C.V.: 8.1% 15 inches in 27 irrigations IRRIGATION: 1994 GROWING CONDITIONS: The test was planted originally on April 15, but freezes in late April caused sufficient stand loss to necessitate replanting. Final stands in the second planting were 12-27% lower than the target stand. However, stands for all hybrids were within 10% of the average. Stand differences likely contributed little to hybrid yield differences. The growing season was very hot and dry. Infestations of southwestern corn borer and european corn borer may have contributed to some of the lodging. (Weather data, graphs, and growing conditions presented with standard test, page 27).
