In the summer of 2018, we sampled tissue and soil samples from University of Maryland (Salisbury, Clarksville, Keedysville) and University of Delaware (Georgetown, Marydel) corn variety trials. The goal of the project was to observe whether corn tissue samples across the region were above critical nutrient contents as described by past literature. Two varieties each from the early, middle, and late maturity groups were sampled at each site.
The Delaware Hybrid Field Corn Performance trials have been posted online.
The 2018 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 hybrids were evaluated at fourlocations: Emerson 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 (15 entries), early-medium 111-114 (20 entries) and medium 115-120 days (5 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.
