Urbana, Illinois January, 1937 Publications in the Bulletin series report the results of investigations made by or sponsored by the Experiment Station Illinois Corn Performance Tests Results for,1936 By G. H. DUNCAN, J. R. HOLBERT, W. J. MUMM, J. H. BIGGER, and A. L. LANG* H PERFORMANCE tests conducted as a part of the corn- improvement program of the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with the Division of Cereal Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agricul- ture, and the Illinois State Natural History Survey, have provided the data reported in this bulletin. The present report is the third to be published, the results for 1934 and 1935 having been reported in Bulletins 411 and 427 of this Station. SCOPE OF THE TESTS Two hundred thirty- four different kinds of corn were tested in the twenty-one fields in 1936. Of these, 38 were open-pollinated varieties and 196 were hybrids. In the accompanying tables these entries are grouped into two gen- eral classes designated as "Regular" and "Experimental." The regular entries comprize those that may be considered as being in commercial production, 100 bushels or more of seed being available for planting in 1937 or having been available in that amount in previous years. In the experimental group are included those hybrids of which only small amounts of seed have been produced and which, for this reason, are not available for commercial planting. Of the hybrids included in the tests, 118 were experimental. At least five locally adapted open-pollinated varieties were included in each of the fifteen fields in the grain-testing group. In the silage tests and the tests made on soils varying in productivity, at least one good open-pollinated variety was included. The performance of the open-pollinated entries furnishes a standard for evaluating that of the hybrids. G. H. DUNCAN, Chief in Crop Production, Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station; {. R.

Some of them were on the same farms as those of last year. Again the selection of accessible places and good, cooperatively Location of 1936 Test Fields minded farmers resulted in obtaining fields relatively high in produc- tivity. The accompanying map shows the location of the fields, and in Table 1 is given some general information about them. 1937] ILLINOIS CORN PERFORMANCE TESTS 1936 393 TABLE 1.

Rotation Urban* Corn on Edgewood field was a failure because of excessive drouth and heat damage. SEASONAL CONDITIONS Favorable conditions for the growth of corn prevailed at planting time and during the fall of 1936, but the summer was characterized by extreme heat and drouth. This condition was most severe in the central two-thirds of the state. The low average yields on some of the fields recorded in Table 1 are an indication of the unfavorableness of the season. INSECT PROBLEMS The weather, tho unfavorable for corn, was nearly ideal for the development of outbreaks of chinch bugs and grasshoppers. Numerous areas in north-central, central, and south-central Illinois suffered from the attacks of these two insects, and several of the testing fields were seriously affected. At Cambridge, in the north-central section, one-fifth of the field was not harvested because of grasshopper damage and the remainder of the field showed scattered spots of feeding. Grasshoppers were also responsible for the abandonment of the entire eastern half of the field at Stanford and for a spotty condition in the remainder of the field. Both chinch bugs and grasshoppers were present in outbreak pro- 394 BULLETIN No. 429 [January, portions on the Franklin field, and the records from this field should be examined with this fact in mind. Unfortunately the same strain of corn is not always resistant to more than one kind of insect, but the outstanding entries on the Franklin field must be considered as resist- ant to both chinch bugs and grasshoppers, as well as to drouth. Part of the field at Sullivan was heavily infested with chinch bugs, and some valuable information regarding the resistance to this insect of the strains planted there is furnished by the data from this field. METHOD OF PLANTING The methods of conducting the 1936 tests were similar to those used in 1934 and 1935. In order that the trials might be carried on under actual farm conditions, all plots in the grain-testing group were located within a larger cornfield. The test corn was planted by hand on the day the rest of the field was planted. The rows were joined with those of the surrounding corn so that the test plots could be cultivated along with the rest of the field. On most fields each entry (variety or hybrid) occupied 10 plots, each plot being 12 hills long and 2 rows wide. At Stockton and at Cambridge, however, the plots were 10 hills long instead of 12. The entries were arranged in the controlled random order, as described in Bulletin 427. With only a few exceptions, all 10 plots of each entry were harvested and the yield of grain from each plot included in determining performance ratings. Uneven insect damage justified leav- ing portions of two fields unharvested. At Stanford five plots and at Cambridge two plots of each entry were not harvested for this reason. At Albion six plots of each entry were abandoned because of uneven stand. The silage testing plots were planted with a regular corn planter in strips across the field, an open-pollinated variety being planted on every third or fourth plot to serve as a check. MEASURING PERFORMANCE OF ENTRIES The entries in 1936 were rated, as in 1935, according to two meas- ures of performance lodging resistance and yield of sound corn. Lodging Resistance. Lodging resistance was measured in the following way. Just before harvest each plot on the field was examined and the percentage of erect plants estimated. The percentage of erect plants for a given entry was then computed from the estimates of all 1937] ILLINOIS CORN PERFORMANCE TESTS 1936 395 the replications of that entry. The rating on relative lodging resistance is the ratio, expressed as percentage, of the percentage of erect plants for that entry to the average percentage of erect plants for all the entries on the field. Sound Yield. The entire yield from one replication of each entry was shelled to determine shelling percentage. The corn was usually shelled on the day it was husked. Ears that were too moist to shell at harvest time were dried with forced heated air and shelled later. All the shelled corn from a plot was poured thru a divider and a repre- sentative sample, consisting of one-eighth of the original quantity, taken. This sample was divided into two equal lots, one of which was used for a moisture test and the other dried and reserved for a deter- mination of damaged corn. Most of the moisture determinations were made with a Tag-Hep- penstall moisture meter within a few days after the samples were taken. The corn from a few fields was too high in moisture to be tested by this apparatus. When this occurred, the moisture was determined by drying the corn in an electric oven at 100 C. for 48 hours. The samples taken for determination of damaged corn were stored for a time in a heated dryer. The percentage of damaged kernels, by weight, was determined in either a 200- or a 250-gram sample of the grain, according to the Federal Grain Grade standards. The acre-yield of sound corn was computed from the total acre- yield and the percentage of sound corn. The rating on sound yield of an entry is the ratio, expressed as percentage, of the yield of sound corn for that entry to the average yield of sound corn for all the entries on the field. General Performance Rating. In computing the general per- formance rating of an entry, the ratings for lodging resistance and sound corn were averaged, but the sound-corn rating was given three times the weight of the rating on lodging resistance, since differences in yield are more important than differences in lodging resistance. RESULTS OF THE TESTS Grain Tests. Data on total yield of grain, sound corn, damaged corn, moisture in corn at harvest, and percentage of erect plants, together with performance ratings, are given in Tables 2 to 19, starting with the tests made in northern Illinois and moving south. A summary of the performance of the entries that were tested in both 1935 and 1936 is given in Tables 20 to 23. 3% BULLETIN No. 429 [January, In all sections of the state the best hybrids again demonstrated their superiority over the best open-pollinated varieties. The yield of the five best hybrids in the northern, north-central, central, and south- central sections of the state exceeded that of the five best open-polli- nated varieties by 15.7 bushels of sound corn per acre, or by over 46 percent. Silage Tests. Two silage tests of corn varieties and hybrids were made in 1936. The fields were located near Maple Park in DeKalb county and at Urbana 1 in Champaign county. The corn was drilled with a corn planter in the regular way, in strips running the length of the field. At Urbana every third strip was planted with Station Yellow Dent and at Maple Park every fourth strip was planted with Western Plowman. These two open-pollinated varieties served as a check. The general performance rating of the various entries was based on total yield of dry matter and lodging resistance. Total weight of dry matter was given three times the weight of lodging resistance. The best hybrid entries in the silage tests surpassed the open- pollinated entries in total yield of silage as well as in grain fraction, or feeding value. Data on yield and performance rating are given in Tables 24 and 25. Soil-Adaptation Tests. As in 1935 some of the better hybrids, along with Station Yellow Dent as a check, were grown on soils vary- ing in productivity. The difference in the productivity of the areas used was due either to characteristics inherent in the soil itself or to the farming practices used or to both. In the Sibley test (Table 26) the high level of productivity is rep- resented by Farm 41 and the lower level by Farm 92. The area selected for the test on Farm 92 is high, somewhat eroded, and the soil a poor grade of Elliott silt loam. The area on Farm 41 is a highly productive Proctor silt loam. The two areas selected for the Urbana tests (Table 27) are differ- ent in productivity because of the long-continued use of different rota- tions. Corn, oats, clover, and wheat, with a clover catch crop in the wheat, make up the Southwest rotation. Corn, corn, corn, and soybeans constitute the South-Central rotation. More limestone has been applied to the Southwest rotation ; otherwise the supplementary treatments on these two areas have been very similar. Owing to adverse and variable seasonal conditions, comparisons 'The field at Urbana was grown in cooperation with the Department of Dairy Husbandry. 1937} ILLINOIS CORN PERFORMANCE TESTS 1936 397 between fields are not so representative as they were in the previous year's work. Farm 41 at Sibley was the more favored in respect to moisture supply than Farm 92. Both fields at Urbana suffered more from drouth during the critical growing period than did either of the fields at Sibley. Nevertheless the same general conclusions that were made in 1935 hold true for this year's work; namely, that the better hybrids are favored by a good soil to a greater extent than are open- pollinated varieties.
