The Northern New York Agricultural Development Program has released the results of its 2013 corn grain performance trials. The trials are designed to aid corn growers, extension educators and seed companies by evaluating hybrids for yield capacity, stalk and root strength and maturity under Northern New York growing conditions, says Cornell University Plant Bleeding and Genetics Researcher Margaret E. Smith.
The corn grain crop in Northern New York is valued at more than $50 million.
The NNYADP-funded trials of 30 early and medium-early maturity hybrids planted at Madrid and Chazy, NY, test popular hybrids as well as new or experimental hybrid seed for yield, plant vigor, standability, and moisture content.
