Yellow and White Corn Variety Trial in Greenlee County, 1991

Abstract

Asgrow RX947 was the leading yellow corn hybrid with a yield of 9255 pounds per acre and a net return (after drying) of $447.93 per acre. It was followed by Cargill 8127 (a new entry) and Pioneer 3162 (the top yielding hybrid from the Bonita area). Cargill 9402W lead the white corn hybrids with a yield of 8464 pounds per acre and a net yield of $484.97 per acre. It was followed by Garst 8101W (last years winner) and Pioneer 3281W It is noted that the income from white corn was higher than yellow corn with lower yields. This is due to an $0.85 per cwt premium used in the calculations.
