COOPERATORS:  EARL  HUGHES,  McHenry  county;  EARL  and  WEBSTER  GEHRING,  Knox  county;

Moullrie  county.  The  Alhambra  field  in  Madison  county  is  managed  by  the  Illinois  Station.  The  Pope 
county  fields  at  Robbs  are  parts  of  the  Dixon  Springs  Experiment  Station  of  which  R.  J.  WEBB  is 
superintendent  and  J.  M.  LEWIS  is  assistant  superintendent. 

Most  of  the  hybrids  selected  for  testing  are  extensively  grown 
in  the  state.  Some  experimental  hybrids  were  included  because  they 
had  shown  promise  for  commercial  production  in  preliminary  tests. 
A  few  hybrids  were  put  in  the  test  mainly  to  meet  the  field-perform- 
ance requirement  for  certification. 

Open-pedigree  hybrids  from  commercial  seed  producers  were 
entered  in  the  1947  test.  The  name  of  the  producer  of  each  lot  of 
open-pedigree  hybrid  seed  is  included  in  the  tables. 

Soil  characteristics  of  fields.  The  test  fields  were  medium  to 
high  in  productivity,  and  each  represents  a  soil  type  common  to  the 
region  where  it  is  located.  Each  field  was  selected  carefully  for 
uniformity  in  soil  type,  productivity,  and  drainage.  The  Alhambra 
field  contained  a  number  of  "slick  spots"  and  was  the  most  variable 
in  productivity. 

In  1947  the  northern  Illinois  test  was  moved  to  McHenry 
county.  The  other  tests  were  conducted  on  the  same  farms  as  in 
1946.  The  approximate  locations  of  the  test  fields  are  shown  on  the 
map  on  the  inside  front  cover.  General  information  on  soil  charac- 
teristics and  soil  management  is  given  in  Table  2. 

Field-plot  design.  A  9  x  9  randomized,  lattice-square  field- 
plot  design  with  5  replications  was  used  on  the  Woodstock,  Gales- 
burg,  Sheldon,  Sullivan,  and  Alhambra  fields.  Controlled,  random- 
ized block  designs  with  6  replications  were  used  on  the  Dixon 
Springs  bottomland  field  and  5  on  the  upland  field. 

Method  of  planting.    All  test  fields  were  planted  by  hand

WEATHER  CONDITIONS 

In  general,  the  1947  planting  season  was  another  extremely  late 
and  discouraging  one  thruout  Illinois.  The  cool  spring  was  so  wet 
that  lowlands  and  low  spots  in  fields  were  repeatedly  flooded.  Stands 
were  uneven  and,  since  wet  fields  prevented  timely  cultivation,  were 
more  weedy  than  usual. 

Wet  weather  made  the  planting  of  test  fields  later  than  usual. 
All  fields  except  the  Sheldon  field  were  planted  in  good  seedbeds 
which  had  ample  moisture  and  were  planted  under  conditions  favor- 
able for  growth.  The  test  area  on  the  Sheldon  field  was  planted  five 
days  after  the  rest  of  the  field.  A  heavy  rain  which  fell  at  sometime 
during  the  five-day  period  made  the  originally  excellent  seedbed 
very  compact. 

Good  stands  were  obtained  on  the  Woodstock,  Galesburg,  Sul- 
livan, and  Dixon  Springs  bottomland  fields.  Stands  were  variable 
on  the  Sheldon,  Alhambra,  and  Dixon  Springs  upland  fields. 

During  June  corn  made  good  growth  despite  the  cool,  wet 
weather.  Corn  suffered  during  late  July  and  August  from  the  ex- 
cessive heat  and  drouth.  Late-planted  corn  suffered,  particularly 
when  its  early  growth  was  extremely  rapid.  Heat  caused  stunting 
and  firing;  this  condition  wras  more  general  in  the  southern  half  of 
the  state  and  the  damage  most  serious  there. 

Serious  fall  damage  from  frost  had  threatened  the  late-planted 
Illinois  corn  crop  since  planting  time.  The  fall  season,  however,  was 
unusually  warm,  killing  frosts  generally  holding  off  until  early  No- 
vember. The  exception  was  the  extreme  northern  part  of  the  state, 
where  a  killing  frost  occurred  during  the  last  week  of  September. 
The  Woodstock  field  was  in  this  area  but  the  damage  was  slight. 
Clear,  warm  weather  during  September  and  October  hastened  dry- 
ing thruout  the  state.  Practically  all  the  corn  matured  without  seri- 
ous damage  and  the  expected  soft  corn  drying,  handling,  and 
storage  problems  did  not  materialize. 

INSECT  PESTS 

European  corn  borer.  In  northern  Illinois  in  1947,  corn 
losses  from  European  corn  borer,  Pyransta  nubilalis  (Hbn. ),  were 
material.  Hybrid  test  fields  at  Woodstock  and  Sheldon  were  in  this 


1948}  ILLINOIS  HYBRID  CORN  TESTS:    1947  529 

area.  Records  of  stalk  breakage  in  these  fields  at  harvest  time  are 
shown  in  Table  5  (page  536)  and  Table  10  (page  543). 

The  percentage  of  plants  broken  below  the  ear  because  of 
borer  attack  and  the  average  breakage  for  the  fields  show  that  the 
attack  varied  in  intensity  at  the  two  fields.  At  Woodstock,  plants 
broken  below  the  ear  ranged  from  less  than  one  percent  to  over  23 
percent;  the  average  was  8.4  percent.  The  difference  necessary  for 
significance  in  hybrids  is  8  percent  (Table  5).  Many  hybrids  appear 
to  be  very  similar  in  their  response  to  borer  attack.  A  three-year 
average  for  19  hybrids  shows  that  2.8  to  9.8  percent  of  the  plants 
were  broken  below  the  ear  (Table  5).  The  difference  between 
hybrids  in  this  three-year  average  is  not  significant. 

The  percentage  of  plants  broken  below  the  ear  at  Sheldon 
range  from  less  than  1  percent  to  10.9  percent.  In  this  field,  having 
little  breakage,  differences  between  hybrids  in  the  test  is  not  sig- 
nificant. A  three-year  average  of  26  entries  shows  that  the  percent- 
age of  plants  broken  below  the  ear  ranged  from  14.6  to  25.5.  The 
average  for  all  entries  was  19.7  percent.  None  is  significantly  better 
than  any  other. 

Southern  corn  rootworm.  The  hybrid  test  field  at  Galesburg 
was  attacked  by  corn  rootworms,  especially  southern  corn  root- 
worm,  Diabrotica  duodccimpimctata  (F. ).  The  attack  damaged 
root  systems  and  caused  lodging,  which  was  greatly  increased  by  a 
windstorm.  Forty-five  of  the  hybrids  in  the  field  showed  better  than 
average  resistance  to  lodging.  Total  lodging,  however,  ranged 
widely  —  from  2.2  to  74.3  percent,  the  average  being  33.6  percent 
(Table  8,  page  540).  Because  the  windstorm  caused  a  big  differ- 
ence between  portions  of  the  field,  a  difference  of  33.6  percent  is 
necessary  for  significance  (Table  8).  Figures  for  lodging  are  avail- 
able for  the  years  1943  and  1947;  average  figures  for  22  hybrids 
grown  on  this  field  during  those  years  are  given  in  Table  7  (page 
539).  Differences  between  hybrids  included  in  these  averages  are 
not  significant.

DISEASE  DAMAGE1 

Stalk  rot  diseases.  From  surveys  in  37  scattered  counties, 
direct  damage  from  stalk  rot  was  estimated  at  5  percent.  In  some 
fields  the  stalks  were  badly  broken,  the  breakage  resulting  in  in- 
direct losses  since  the  pickers  did  not  get  all  the  ears.  The  amount 
of  damage  varied  a  good  deal  from  place  to  place.  Of  the  stalks 
examined,  33  percent  were  rotted  by  Diplodia  zeae  and  25  percent 
by  Gibberella  zcac.  In  northern  Illinois,  Gibberella  was  more  preva- 
lent than  Diplodia.  In  southern  Illinois,  1.4  percent  of  the  stalks 
were  damaged  by  charcoal  rot.  Fusariuiii  uionilifonne,  Nigrospora 
oryzac,  and  other  organisms  also  caused  a  moderate  amount  of 
stalk  rot. 

Tho  Diplodia  has  usually  been  the  most  serious  cause  of  corn 
stalk  rot  in  Illinois,  Gibberella  was  the  most  important  cause  in 
1946  and  of  considerable  importance  in  1947.  Some  inbreds  that  are 
resistant  to  Diplodia  are  not  resistant  to  Gibberella  and  vice  versa. 

Root  rot.  Wet  soil  in  the  spring  and  compacted,  poorly 
aerated  soil  during  the  summer  were  very  favorable  to  root  rot 
organisms.  Roots  were  brown  and  plants  were  easily  pulled  up  in 
many  fields.  However,  a  specific  estimate  on  the  amount  of  damage 
can  not  be  made. 

Smut.  Loss  from  smut  was  estimated  at  only  0.5  percent. 
Damage  from  this  disease  has  been  moderate  since  1940,  in  which 
year  the  loss  was  estimated  at  4  percent. 

Stewart's  disease.  This  disease  was  observed  especially  in 
canning  corn  in  Iroquois  and  Vermilion  counties  and  in  nonresistant 
garden  varieties  of  sweet  corn  in  central  and  south-central  Illinois. 
In  late  summer,  leaf  symptoms  of  Stewart's  disease  were  very  com- 
mon on  field  corn  except  in  the  northern  third  of  the  state.  This 
infection  in  field  corn  apparently  caused  little  direct  damage,  but  it 
may  have  increased  stalk  rot  susceptibility. 

Ear  rots.  Corn  kernel  damage  from  rot  in  the  various  per- 
formance fields  is  given  in  Table  3.  The  dry  weather  of  late  sum- 
mer and  fall  was  not  conducive  to  ear  rot  infection  and  the  per- 
centages are  low,  altho  not  so  low  as  in  1946.  The  least  ear  rot 
damage  occurred  at  Sheldon,  the  most  at  Alhambra  where  the  most 

1  Estimates  of  losses  are  based  in  part  on  survey  data  obtained  by 
G.  H.  BOEWE  of  the  Illinois  State  Natural  History  Survey.

lodging  also  occurred.  In  the  last  two  years  Fusarium  moniliforme 
was  the  chief  cause  of  kernel  damage  by  rot.  Penicillium  jumped  up 
to  second  place  in  1947.  At  Dixon  Springs  Diplodia  was  not  even 
found.  Ear  rot  losses  were  high  in  1941  and  since  then  we  have  had 
more  or  less  dry  fall  weather  and  low  rot  damage. 

MEASURING  PERFORMANCE 

The  entries  in  the  1947  test  are  listed  in  the  tables  in  the  order 
of  their  total  yields.  Two  or  more  entries  having  the  same  total  yield 
are  given  the  same  rating,  but  the  one  having  the  higher  yield  of 
sound  corn  is  placed  first.  Those  having  the  same  total  yield  and 
sound  yield  are  placed  in  order  by  percentage  of  erect  plants. 

Erect  plants.  The  percentage  of  erect  plants  in  each  plot  of 
each  entry  on  each  field  was  estimated  at  the  time  of  harvest.  The 
ratings  for  erect  plants  show  how  the  percentage  of  erect  plants  for 
each  hybrid  compared  with  the  percentage  of  erect  plants  on  the 
field  as  a  whole.  (Each  rating  is  obtained  by  dividing  the  percentage 
of  erect  plants  for  that  hybrid  by  the  percentage  of  erect  plants  on 
the  field  as  a  whole  and  multiplying  by  100.) 

Lodging  may  have  been  due  to  rootworm  damage,  weak  or 
rotted  roots,  corn  borer  damage,  stalk  rots,  or  weak  stalks.  Stalks 
broken  above  the  ear  were  not  considered  lodged. 

Yield  of  grain.    To  determine  shelling  percentage,  all  the 


532  BULLETIN  No.  527  [February, 

ears  from  one  replicate  of  each  entry  were  shelled.  At  Dixon 
Springs,  however,  because  it  was  not  practicable  to  shell  all  the  ears 
in  a  replication,  the  shelling  percentage  of  all  entries  wras  assumed 
to  be  80  percent.  A  sample  of  shelled  corn  was  taken  from  the 
Dixon  Springs  plots  by  hand-shelling  6  ears  of  each  entry  in  one 
replication. 

From  the  shelled  corn  one  sample  was  taken  to  determine  the 
percentage  of  moisture  at  harvest1  and  to  determine  the  percentage 
of  damaged  kernels.  The  percentage  of  damaged  corn  was  deter- 
mined according  to  the  federal  grain  standards. 

The  total  acre-yield  was  calculated  as  shelled  corn  containing 
15.5  percent  moisture,  the  upper  limit  allowable  in  No.  2  corn.  The 
total  yield  thus  obtained  was  adjusted  according  to  the  procedure 
outlined  by  Cochran  for  randomized  lattice-square  designs.2  The 
total  yield  of  sound  corn  was  computed  by  deducting  the  amount 
of  damaged  corn  from  the  total  yield. 

Each  hybrid's  rating  for  sound  yield,  expressed  in  percentage, 
is  simply  the  ratio  between  the  bushels  of  sound  corn  produced  by 
the  hybrid  and  the  average  number  of  bushels  of  sound  corn  pro- 
duced by  all  the  entries  on  the  field. 

Height  of  ear.  Notes  on  comparative  height  of  ear  were 
taken  at  harvest  time.  Each  plot  of  each  entry  was  placed  in  one  of 
the  five  following  categories:  low,  mid-low  (midway  between  low 
and  medium),  medium,  mid-high  (midway  between  medium  and 
high),  and  high.  Beginning  with  low  and  continuing  progressively 
to  high,  these  terms  were  assigned  numerical  values  from  1  to  5  to 
permit  the  averaging  of  the  plots. 

Significance  of  yield  differences.  Too  much  confidence  must 
not  be  placed  in  the  particular  ranking  of  a  hybrid  in  the  following 
tables,  for  chance  has  played  a  part  in  determining  its  position. 
Unaccountable  variability  in  the  soil  and  conditions  on  the  field 
will  cause  differences  in  yield  that  are  not  inherent  in  the  hybrids 
themselves. 

The  part  played  by  chance  in  the  1947  tests  has  been  calculated 
for  total  yield  by  the  mathematical  procedure  known  as  "analysis

of  variance."  At  the  bottom  of  each  table  is  stated  the  approximate 
difference  which  there  must  be  between  any  two  entries  in  order 
for  them  to  show  a  true  inherent  difference.  Unless  two  hybrids 
differ  by  at  least  this  amount,  there  is  no  assurance  that  one  hybrid 
is  inherently  higher  yielding  than  the  other. 

RESULTS  OF  TESTS 

Detailed  results  of  the  tests  on  six  regular  test  fields  and  the  two 
special  soil-adaptation  fields  are  given  in  Tables  4  to  14  on  the  fol- 
lowing pages.  See  also  Table  3  on  page  531  on  ear-rot  damage. 


Readers  are  urged  to  keep  in  mind  these  two  things  when 
comparing  the  performance  of  hybrids  on  any  one  field: 

1.  Small  differences  in  yield  do  not  necessarily  indi- 
cate the  superiority  of  one  hybrid  over  another.  See  each 
table  for  the  amount  one  hybrid  must  exceed  another 
before  it  can  be  considered  the  better. 

2.  The  Summary  section  of  each  table  is  the  most 
important  part.  At  least  three  years'  results  are  neces- 
sary to  give  a  reasonably  reliable  picture  of  a  hybrid's 
ability  to  perform  under  varying  seasonal  conditions.

SOIL  ADAPTATION  TEST 

Hybrids  were  tested  at  Urbana  for  their  adaptation  to  soils  dif- 
fering in  fertility  level.  The  same  six  single-cross  and  three  double- 
cross  hybrids  included  in  1946  were  used  again. 

Soils.  The  two  areas  used  for  the  tests  are  on  the  Agronomy 
south  farm  and  differ  in  productivity  as  a  result  of  long-continued 
use  of  different  cropping  systems.  In  the  Southwest  rotation  a  high 
state  of  productivity  has  been  maintained  by  a  systematic  rotation 
of  corn,  oats,  clover  hay,  and  wheat  with  a  red-clover  catch  crop. 
The  South-Central  area  has  been  depleted  of  fertility  by  a  rotation 
of  corn,  corn,  corn,  and  soybeans.  Both  fields  have  received  manure 
and  phosphate.  The  predominating  soil  type  on  both  fields  is  Sidell 
silt  loam. 

Season.  Wet  weather  delayed  the  planting  of  these  fields 
almost  a  month.  The  highly  productive  field  was  planted  June  10 
and  the  less  productive,  June  12.  Lack  of  moisture  and  extreme  heat 
during  the  middle  of  the  growing  season  made  for  lower  than 
average  yields  on  both  of  these  fields. 

1947  results.  The  average  yields  of  all  hybrids  in  the  test 
were  lower  than  in  any  previous  year  since  1936.  The  results  dem- 
onstrated the  ability  of  certain  single-  and  double-cross  hybrids  to 
withstand  adverse  conditions.  Single  cross  Hy  X  O7  and  double 
cross  Illinois  972-1  were  the  two  highest  yielding  entries  on  both 
fields  (Table  14).  On  the  highly  productive  field,  Illinois  972-1 
was  highest  in  yield.  The  three  single  crosses  that  include  the 
four  inbred  lines  which  are  used  in  the  production  of  Illinois  972-1 
were  next  in  order  of  yield. 

On  the  medium  productive  field,  Hy  X  O7  was  highest  in  yield 
followed  by  Illinois  972-1.  In  this  test  all  the  inbreds  making  up 
Illinois  972-1,  with  the  exception  of  L317,  were  in  the  single  crosses 
ranking  at  or  near  the  top  in  yield. 

On  both  fertility  levels,  the  yield  of  early  maturing  single 
crosses  and  early  maturing  double  crosses  was  near  the  bottom. 
Their  1947  performance  agrees  in  this  respect  with  their  1946  per- 
formance. The  lowest  yielding  entry  on  both  fields  was  single  cross 
5120  X  Hy.  This  hybrid  was  also  the  lowest  yielding  of  the  nine 
in  1946.

Lodging  was  less  severe  on  the  highly  productive  soil  than  on 
the  medium  productive  field.  Single  crosses  were  superior  to  double 
crosses  in  standability.  Illinois  972-1  was  the  best  of  the  double 
crosses  and  WF9  X  Hy,  WF9  X  38-1 1,  and  Hy  X  O7  were  the  best 
of  the  single  crosses  in  percentage  of  erect  plants. 

SUMMARY 

In  1947  two  hundred  ninety-five  hybrids  were  tested  on  six 
fields  in  Illinois.  As  in  1946  six  single-cross  and  three  double-cross 
hybrids  were  grown  at  Urbana  on  two  fields  differing  in  produc- 
tivity. 

Because  of  wet  weather,  planting  was  late.  The  planting  dates 
ranged  from  May  24,  when  the  fields  at  Galesburg  and  Sullivan 


552  BULLETIN  No.  527  [February, 

were  planted,  to  June  16,  when  corn  went  in  on  the  bottomland 
field  at  Dixon  Springs.  Stands  on  the  Woodstock,  Galesburg,  Sul- 
livan, and  Dixon  Springs  bottomland  fields  were  good;  they  were 
variable  on  the  Sheldon,  Alhambra,  and  Dixon  Springs  upland 
fields.  Heat  and  drouth  were  severe  enough  to  lower  yields  in  the 
northern,  central,  south-central,  and  southern  portions  of  the  state. 
The  weighted  average  yield  of  all  hybrids  in  the  tests  was  56.7 
bushels  an  acre.  This  is  an  average  of  17.2  bushels  an  acre,  or  43 
percent,  above  the  state  average  yield.  But  it  is  also  17  bushels  an 
acre  less  than  the  weighted  average  of  all  hybrids  in  the  1942-1946 
tests. 

The  1947  state  average,  39.5  bushels  an  acre,  was  the  lowest 
since  1936,  a  pre-hybrid  year.  The  state  average  for  the  last  five 
years  was  50.6  bushels  an  acre,  or  28  percent  above  the  1947 
average. 

Results  of  the  1947  hybrid  corn  tests  were  briefly  as  follows: 

1.  The  Galesburg  field  in  west  north-central  Illinois  had  the 
highest  average  yield  in  the  state,  73  bushels  an  acre.  On  the  other 
test  fields  the  average  yields  per  acre  were:  Sheldon,  71.1  bushels; 
Sullivan,  63.8  bushels;  Alhambra,  48.5  bushels;  Woodstock,  42.3 
bushels;  Dixon   Springs    (bottomland),  41.7  bushels;  and  Dixon 
Springs  (upland),  34.0  bushels. 

2.  The  five  highest  yielding  hybrids  in  the  three-year  sum- 
maries are  as  follows :    Northern  Illinois  —  Furr  67A,  Sieben 
S-450,  Doubet  D-l,  Nichols  5A,  and  DeKalb  609:  West  North- 
Central  —  Pioneer  339,  Pioneer  304,  Doubet  D-72,  Kelly  K-374, 
and  Holmes  Utility  39;  East  North-Central  —  Pioneer  313B, 
Pioneer  304,  Morton  M-380,  Frey  644,  and  Pioneer  332 ;  South 
Central  —  Doubet  D-41,  Bear  OK-40,  Producers  1050,  Illinois 
21,  and  Pioneer  313B;  Southern  —  Whisnand  917(W),  Illinois 
200,    U.    S.    13,    Funk    G-80,    and    Pioneer   332;   and    Extreme 
Southern  —  Whisnand  905(W),  Keystone  106(W),  Whisnand 
917(W),  P.A.G.  612(W),  and  Lowe  855(W). 

3.  Lodging  was  most  severe  on  the  Alhambra  field,  where 
it  amounted  to  44.6  percent  ( Table  1 ) .  There  was  least  lodging  on 
the  South-Central  field  at  Sullivan,  where  only  2.5  percent  of  the 
plants  were  lodged. 

4.  Corn   borer  damage   was   most  severe  on   the   northern 
Illinois  field.  Over  8  percent  of  the  plants  were  broken  below  the 


1948]  ILLINOIS  HYBRID  CORN  TESTS:    1947  553 

ear  at  the  point  of  corn  borer  injury.  Hybrids  varied  in  amount  of 
infestation,  but  in  the  three-year  average  the  difference  was  not  sig- 
nificant between  the  hybrids  on  any  field. 

5.  Corn  on  the  Galesburg  field  was  injured  by  the  southern 
corn  root  worm.  Damage  to  the  roots  and  strong  wind  caused  con- 
siderable lodging  on  this  field. 

6.  Ear  rot  percentage  was  low  on  all  the  fields.  Sheldon  had 
least  kernel  rot  and  Alhambra  had  most.  The  most  prevalent  fungus 
on  rot  damaged  kernels  was  Fusarium  nioniliformc.  Gibberclla  zeae 
was  present  in  least  amount.  On  the  whole,  stalk  and  root  rots  were 
the  most  serious  corn  diseases  in  1947. 

7.  The  average  yield  of  the  nine  hybrids  grown  at  Urbana 
on  the  field  having  high  productivity  was  73.5  bushels  an  acre.  On 
the  less  productive  field,  the  same  hybrids  produced  an  average 
yield  of  42.6  bushels  an  acre. 

8.  On  the  high  producing  field,  Illinois  972-1   was  first  in 
yield  and  Hy  X  O7  ranked  second.  On  the  medium  productive  field 
Hy   X    O7  was   first  and   Illinois  972-1   was  second.   This    1947 
performance,   together   with  that  of   former  years,  indicates  the 
capacity  of  Illinois  972-1  and  one  of  its  component  single  crosses, 
Hy  X  O7,  to  yield  well  under  a  wide  diversity  of  climatic  and  soil 
conditions. 

Of  the  nine  hybrids  in  this  special  test,  single  cross  5120  X  Hy, 
in  1947  as  in  1946,  gave  the  smallest  yield.
