Corn Hybrid Evaluations in Cochise and Southern Graham Counties, 1990

Abstract

1990 was a good year for corn yields. Favorable weather and a new yellow corn hybrid have combined to produce over 13,000 pounds of corn per acre. Pioneer 3162 was the highest producer. Two other hybrids, a new entry from Northrup King (N8318) and a new entry from Germain's (GC 5247) produced yields greater than 12,000 pounds per acre and all of the entries yielded over 10,000 pounds per acre. The white corn trial in Elfrida also showed good production with three of the ten entries yielding over 9,000 pounds per acre. DeKalb 703W yielded highest with Conlee 113W and DeKalb 77W following closely.
