    INTRODUCTION

    Corn and grain sorghum performance tests are conduct-ed each year in Arkansas by the University of Arkansas Divisionof Agriculture. The tests provide information to companies mar-keting seed within the state, and aid the Arkansas CooperativeExtension Service in formulating recommendations for produc-ers.

    The 2006 corn performance tests contained 82 entriesand were conducted at the Northeast Research and ExtensionCenter (NEREC) at Keiser, the Lon Mann Cotton ResearchStation (LMCRS) near Marianna, the Bell Farming Companynear Des Arc, the Southeast Research and Extension Center -Rohwer Division (SEREC-RD) near Rohwer, the Rice Researchand Extension Center (RREC) near Stuttgart, and the Dale SeilerFarm in LaFayette County, Arkansas. The 2006 grain sorghumperformance tests contained 26 entries and were conducted at theNEREC, the LMCRS, the SEREC-RD, and the RREC. Test loca-tion maps for grain sorghum and corn can be found inside theback cover.

    MATERIALS AND METHODS

    Corn hybrids were divided into two maturity groups.Based on information provided by the originating companies,entries were placed into a 116 or fewe r days-to-maturity group(Early- to Mid-Season) or 117+ group (Mid- to Full-Season).

    Within each test, entries were arranged as a randomizedcomplete block design with four replications. Plots were tworows wide and 20-25 feet long depending on location. Seedingrates for each corn and grain sorghum hybrid were based on therecommendations of the originating company.

    All plots were harvested with a plot combine. Specificlocation and management practice information accompany eachtable.

    GRAIN SORGHUM PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS

    Yield: Yields were calculated from the weight of threshed grainfrom each plot and are expressed as pounds per acre (lbs./A) at14% moisture.

    Grain Moisture: Expressed as a percent moisture of grain at har-vest.

    Plant Height: Average height in inches from the soil surface to thetop of the grain head.

    Head Exertion: Average distance in inches from the flag leaf tobase of panicle.

    Head Compactness Scale:

    1 = Head short and oval. Rachis branches intermediate in length.

    2 = Head long and slender. Rachis branches strong and short.

    3 = Head elongated and oval. Rachis branches beginning toweaken and intermediate in length.

    4 = Head elongated and rectangular in shape. Rachis branchesintermediate in strength and length.

    5 = Head open and elongated. Rachis branches weak.

    Bird Damage: A visual estimate of total percent grain loss fromeach plot.

    CORN PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS

    Yield: Yields were calculated from the weight of shelled corn har-vested from each plot and are expressed as bushels per acr e(bu./A) at 15.5% moisture.

    Grain Moisture: Expressed as a percent moisture of shelled grainat harvest.

    Root Lodging: Average number of plants leaning more than 40degrees from vertical at harvest.

    Stalk Lodging: Average number of plants broken below an ear atharvest.

    Plants/Acre: The plant population count, expressed in the num-ber of plants per acre.

    Ear Height: The average distance in inches from the soil surfaceto the point of attachment of upper ear.

    Test Weight: Test weights, expressed in pounds per bushel(lbs./bu), were determined using subsamples from plots.

    Tip Cover: Tip cover was rated as good (1), average (2), or poor(3). A rating of good was given when the husks reached wellbeyond the end of the ear and fitted tightly. A rating of averagewas given when the husks reached the tip of the ear or fittedloosely. A rating of poor was given when the ears were open tothe weather.
