The Minnesota Hybrid Corn Silage Evaluation Program evaluates the silage potential of corn hybrids in Minnesota. The goal of the program is to provide unbiased forage yield and forage quality information for educa-tional and marketing programs.The program is financed in part by entry fees from private seed compa-nies that choose to enter hybrids for testing, which are listed below. Results are presented from the two corn silage performance trials, Southeast (SE) located in Rochester; and Central (CE) located in Hutchinson. Entries from the southeast and central sites are also evaluated at Waseca in trials desig-nated as Waseca SE and Waseca CE. Trials at each location were split into early and late corn hybrid maturities, to facilitate harvesting the corn silage at 65% whole plant moisture.

Test ProceduresPlots were established at each test site in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Planting and harvesting dates were:

Waseca SE May 5 Sept. 12 Sept. 15

Hutchinson CE May 29 Sept. 28 Sept. 28

Waseca CE May 5 Sept. 11 Sept. 12

Hybrid entries were planted at 35,000 seeds per acre with 30-inch row spac-ing. Plant nutrients and herbicides to control weeds were applied according to University of Minnesota recommen-dations.Plots were harvested and whole-plant herbage sampled for determination of dry matter content and forage quality.

Test sites were normally harvested when the average whole-plant mois-ture across entries was estimated to be 65%.

Results ProvidedTables 1-8 summarize hybrid yield and forage quality results from Roch-ester, Hutchinson and Waseca. Mois-ture content, whole-plant dry matter (DM) yield and silage yield at harvest moisture are listed. Hybrids are ranked in descending order of milk yield per acre (Milk Yield, lb/acre). Genetic trait information is supplied by companies entered in the hybrid corn silage per-formance trials.Whole-plant forage quality traits tested include crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), 48-hour neutral detergent fiber digestibility (NDFD) and starch concentration. With the exception of NDFD, all forage qual-ity traits are expressed as a percent of

dry matter. NDFD is expressed as a percent of NDF.Milk production potential per ton (lb milk/ton forage) and per acre (lb milk/acre) of forage was calculated using the MILK2006 spreadsheet devel-oped by the University of Wisconsin. MILK2006 approximates animal performance based on a standard cow weight and milk production level (1,350 lb body weight and 90 lb/day at 3.8% fat).Field values for moisture and DM yield at harvest; laboratory values for CP, NDF, NDFD, starch, oil and ash concentration; and book values for NDFCP (1.3%) were used for spread-sheet calculations. For MILK2006 predictions, we assumed that kernel processing occurred. Milk production (lb milk/ton and lb milk/acre) values can be used as a quick reference for

relative comparison of hybrids within test locations.

How to Use ResultsNDF is a negative indicator of forage intake potential; higher NDF concen-tration generally implies lower intake potential. NDFD estimates digest-ibility of the fiber fraction. Starch concentration is positively associated with digestibility because of its high digestibility. Relatively higher NDFD and/or starch concentrations generally imply greater animal performance po-tential. Milk yield per acre represents the combined effects of silage yield and quality.Corn hybrids differed in yield, forage quality and milk production potential at all sites. Means and least signifi-cant difference (LSD) values at the 10% probability level are shown for each parameter. Where the difference

between two hybrids for a particular yield or quality trait is greater than the LSD value, there is a 90% probability that there is a statistically significant difference between the two hybrids for that parameter (i.e., moisture, yield, quality concentration or milk produc-tion). A difference less than the LSD value probably is due to environmental factors.Figures 1-4 summarize the relationship between silage dry matter yield and milk per ton for test sites at Rochester, Waseca and Hutchinson. The figures also highlight those entries at each site that have a combination of high silage dry matter yields and milk production per ton.

Silage dry matter yield values above the gold line were among the highest in this trial at the 10% probability level. 2. Milk per ton values to the right of the gray line were among the highest in this trial at the 10% probability level.3. Entry numbers are shown for hybrids with silage dry matter yield and milk per ton values that were among the highest for both categories.

Figure 4. Relationship between silage dry matter yield and milk per ton for Central early and late maturity corn hybrids planted at Waseca, MN (Waseca County) in 2017.

1. Relationship between silage dry matter yield and milk per ton at Waseca (Waseca County) in 2017. Silage dry matter yield values above the gold line were among the highest in this trial at the 10% probability level. 2. Milk per ton values to the right of the gray line were among the highest in this trial at the 10% probability level.3. Entry numbers are shown for hybrids with silage dry matter yield and milk per ton values that were among the highest for both categories.
