The 2019 Delaware hybrid field corn trials were conducted jointly by the University of Delaware’s Agricultural Experiment Station and the Delaware Cooperative Extension Service, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Forty-six hybrids were evaluated at four locations: EmersonĀ  farms at Middletown, DE (dryland), Thomas Family Farms at Marydel, DE (center pivot irrigation), Plum Creek Farms, LLC at Laurel, DE (center pivot irrigation) and Davis Farms at Georgetown, DE (center pivot irrigation). Hybrids were divided into three relative maturity groups; early 101-110 (21 entries), early-medium 111-114 (17 entries) and medium 115-120 days (8 entries). The hybrids tested are being sold for commercial planting or are on a clear track for commercial planting (e.g. within one or two years of access to farmers). Plans and rules for entering these trials are available upon request.
