Corn Variety Trial in Bonita, Cochise County, 1987

Abstract

The 1987 trials included 14 commercial corn hybrids, which were tested on a heavy - textured soil in northern Cochise county; they were the better yielding hybrids from the previous trial. Five new entries, not previously tested in Cochise county, were included. Garst 8345, one of the new entries, was both the top - yielder, at 12,499 pounds per acre, and the hybrid producing the highest adjusted gross income per acre. Hybrids produced by Pioneer, Cargill, DeKalb and NC+ seed companies all yielded more than 12,000 pounds per acre.
