Corn Silage
INTRODUCTION Every year, the University ofWisconsin-Extension and the University of Wisconsin Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences conduct a corn evaluation program in cooperation with the Wisconsin Crop Improvement Association. The purpose of this program is to provide unbiased performance comparisons of hybrid seed corn for both grain and silage available in Wisconsin. In 2020, grain and silage performance trials were planted at 141ocations in four pro duction zones: the southern, south central, north central, and northern zones. Both seed companies and university researchers submitted hybrids. Companies with hybrids included in the 2020 trials are listed in Table 1. Specific hybrids and where they
were tested are shown in Table 2. A summary of the transgenic traits tested in 2020 is shown in Table 3. A summary of seed treatment performance in 2020 is shown in Table 4. In the back of the report, hybrids tested over the past three years are listed in Table 23. At most locations, trials were divided into early- and late-maturity trials based on the hybrid relative maturities provided by the companies. The specific relative maturities separating early- and late-trials are listed in the tables. Growing Conditions For 2020 Seasonal precipitation and temperature at the trial sites are shown in Table 5. The 2020 growing season was average at most sites for temperature and precipitation compared to the 30-year normal. Scattered drought affected northeastern

Wisconsin and the trials at Seymour and Coleman. Planting progress was typical of previous seasons. Most trial plots were established by early May. Stand establishment was good to excellent at all locations. In southern Wisconsin, a high wind event occurred in early July, before brace root formation, resulting in extensive lodging at Arlington and Montfort that ultimately affected combine harvest and corn yield. Pollination conditions were above average and ear size was longer than normal. A light frost in early September killed the upper leaves in northern Wisconsin. The fall killing frost was later than normal. In southern Wisconsin, grain moisture was higher than normal and slower to dry down. Little disease and insect pressure were observed in most trials.
