    Hybrid x Population x Management Response Trial

    May 28, 2021 Neil McGregor
    Corn yield is effected at different stages throughout the growing season. Plant population is determined at planting, then ears per plant, kernels per row per ear, kernel length and kernel weight are determined throughout the growing season based on growing conditions and management.

    Hybrid Performance by Plant Population by Soil Type

    May 28, 2021 Carrie MacLean
    The objective was to compare the performance of five hybrids related to population, soil type and yield zones. The hybrids were planted in strips using a VR prescription to vary populations.

    Flex Potential of PRIDE Corn Hybrids Using "GAPS Method"

    May 28, 2021 Jean-François Foley

    Understanding the ability of a corn hybrid to flex can result in a better understanding of a hybrids yield potential in different soil types and environments, optimize variable rate seeding (VRS) recommendations and optimize ROI.

    Plant Population Field Trial

    May 28, 2021 Carrie MacLean
    Optimal planting population is influenced by a number of different factors. Typical planting populations in the area range from 30, 000 to 35, 000 seeds per acre. In this trial, five PRIDE Seeds hybrids are considered and evaluated at 4 different populations.

    Multi-Year Hybrid Screening Trials

    May 28, 2021 Matt Chapple

    Understanding the incidence and severity of disease pressure is important to differentiate tolerance of hybrids. Diverse genetics can be placed and managed to reduce risk of yield loss associated with disease pressure. A look at inbred line tolerance to various diseases

    Corn Silage Population

    May 28, 2021 Sara Meidlinger
    The purpose of this special project was to evaluate corn silage yield and quality when different hybrid types (silage specific (SS) and dual purpose (DP)) are planted at different populations.

    Soybeans
    Au cours des dernières saisons, on a beaucoup parlé du semis hâtif du soya (avant la mi-mai) et en fait, même avant le maïs. En fonction de la rotation des cultures, du travail du sol à l'automne et de la superficie, certains producteurs peuvent avoir des appréhensions qui les empêchent de semer tôt. Toutefois, plusieurs motifs existent pour justifier un semis hâtif.
  • Lorsque vous comparez les caractéristiques des épis Fixes, Semi-Flexibles et Flexibles, il est important de savoir quel hybride fonctionne le mieux dans différentes situations de croissance. Les trois types ont le potentiel d’offrir des rendements plus élevés lorsqu’ils sont placés dans la bonne situation
