public through mail or the University of Nebraska Extension at county extension offices. Copies will also be mailedto producers who hosted the tests, associate programs and companies including that submitted entries. Individualplot data and contents of the seed guide will also be available on the web at http://cropwatch.unl.edu/web/vari-etytest/home. One can also find test information from previous years at this website. Information from the NebraskaCrop Improvement Association included here complements the variety testing data by identifying seed sources forpurchasing a hybrid or variety in Nebraska. We appreciate the support of advertisers in printing this guide. It is ourhope that you will find this guide useful in making hybrid and variety selection for planting this spring. Please sendany comments and suggestions to [email protected].

The 2009 crop season was different in many ways. The rainfall was above average in most areas. There were lesssunshine hours and temperatures were below average resulting in less than average growing degree days. Otherchallenges include wet conditions at planting and extremely unfavorable conditions at harvest. Some areas had cropdamage from hail and wind. On the good side, rainfed crops benefited from the wet conditions.

Please visit our new web CropWatch Variety Testing page at http://cropwatch.unl.edu/web/varietytest/home forall the information you need on variety testing.

2009 Crop Production Summary

Here is a summary of the 2009 corn crop. By May 18 corn planting increased rapidly with good weather and 93% complete.Corn emerged was 46%, ahead of last years 19 but even with the average. June 14, corn condition rated as 1% very poor, 1% poor,16% fair, 67% good and 15% excellent. This is above last year’s 66% good or excellent rating. By July 12, corn condition rated1% very poor, 3% poor, 12% fair, 58% good, and 26% excellent. Irrigated corn rated 85% good or excellent while dryland fieldsrated 82%, well above last year. Twenty five percent had silked, behind last year’s 11, but two days behind average of 31. August9, corn condition rated 2% very poor, 6% poor, 15% fair, 52% good, and 25% excellent, near last year’s 76% good or excellentrating. Irrigated corn rated 81% good or excellent while dryland fields rated 72%, below year ago levels of 74. Corn in the doughstage was 34%, near last years 35, but six days behind the average of 54. Two percent had reached the dent stage, near last year at3% and the average of 10%. September 14, corn condition rated 2% very poor, 5% poor, 14% fair, 51% good, and 28% excellent,above last year’s 77% good or excellent rating. Irrigated corn was 82% good or excellent, dryland fields rated 77%, above yearago levels. Eighty five percent of the crop had reached the dent stage, same as last year. Just nine percent of the crop had reachedmaturity, near last year’s 8 and the 25 average. October 11 corn conditions rated 3% very poor, 5% poor, 12% fair, 54% good, and26% excellent, above last years 76% good or excellent rating. Irrigated fields rated 82% good or excellent, while dryland fieldsrated 76%, both below year ago levels. Harvest reached 10% complete, behind last year’s 13 and fourteen days behind the 24 aver-age. November 8 irrigated fields rated 83% good or excellent, while dryland fields rated 74, both above year ago levels. Corn har-vest was 30% complete, well behind last year’s 55 and twenty five days behind the 77 average.

Twenty-one corn performance tests were planted in 2009. Test locations are shown on the map (page 8). Table A. (page 6) con-sists of cooperators, dates of planting and harvesting. Corn trials are conducted to provide yield and other information about cornhybrids which may be offered for sale in Nebraska. A fee from seed producers covers a portion of the cost of each test. Entry wason a voluntary basis and hybrids were selected by seed producers. At many locations, widely grown hybrids were entered by theAgronomy/Horticulture Department.

NEBRASKA SOYBEAN VARIETY TESTS2009

Crop Production SummaryThe November 2009 estimated soybean yield for Nebraska was 52 bushels per acre from 4.800 million harvested acres. The

total production of soybeans for the state was forecasted at 247 million bushels. These estimates are from the November NationalAgricultural Statistics Service.

For the week ending May 11th, soybean planting was 29 % complete. This is ahead of last years 6% and six days earlier thanthe average of 17. The June 14th Soybean summary showed that planting was 100% percent complete, ahead of last years 82 per-cent and the 96 average. Soybeans emerged 98 percent, almost 3 weeks ahead of last year’s 74 and a week ahead of the 89 aver-age. By July 12th, 31 % of the soybean crop has bloomed, ahead of last year’s at 19 % and four days behind the average of 46 %.Soybean condition was rated 0 % very poor, 2 % poor, 14 % fair, 61 % good and 12 % excellent. As of August 9th Soybean con-dition rated at 1 % very poor, 5 % poor, 16 % fair, 59 % good, and 19 % excellent. Plants were setting pods on 70 % of the acreage,compared to 55 % last year and 74 % average. As of September 14th, soybean condition rated at 2 % very poor, 4 % poor, 16 %fair, 57 % good, and 16 % excellent. Plants had turned color on 70% of the crop, ahead of last year’s 74 % and near the averageof 69 %. Plants had dropped leaves on 14 % of the acreage, ahead of last year at 12 % and behind the average of 22 %. By October11th Soybean condition rated at 2% very poor, 5 % poor, 13 % fair, 57 % good and 21% excellent. Harvest reached 45 % com-plete, was behind last year’s 58 % and four days behind the average at 61 %. As of November 10th harvest had progressed to 90% complete, behind last years 96% and 8 days behind and the 97% average.

PROCEDURE

Data were obtained from 17 trials at 10 locations (Table A). Entries were divided into early and late maturing varieties for con-venience in handling evaluation purpose. A list of entries by brand name is shown in Table B. Names and addresses of entrants areshown in Table C. Entries were planted in four-row plots 15 to 35 feet long. Plots were replicated four times in a randomized com-plete block design. In the Southeast, East / South Central, Central and Northeast districts, a planting rate of 8.5 seeds per foot in30-inch rows (148,100 seeds per acre) was used. In the West Central, plots were seeded with an air seeder which planted the samenumber of seeds for each plot. The population in Furnas, Lincoln and Dawson County was 220,000 seeds/a.

At harvest, two center rows 10 to 30 feet long were threshed for yield. Reported yields are corrected to 13 % moisture. Plotswere rated mature when 95 % of the pods had reached their mature pod color. Five to ten days of drying weather are required after“maturity” before the soybeans have less than 15 % moisture.

Plant height is the average length in inches of plants from the ground to the tip of the main stem at the time of maturity. Lodgingis rated at maturity according to the following scores: 1 = Almost all plants erect, 2 = All plants leaning slightly, or a few plantsdown, 3 = All plants leaning moderately (450), or 25% to 50% of the plants down, 4 = All plants leaning considerably, or 50% to80% of the plants down, 5 = Almost all plants down.

Protein and oil content were obtained at 17 tests in 2009. These are reported on a 13 % moisture basis and will appear lower thanmany reported figures. Conversions can be made to 0 % by multiplying the protein or oil by 1.13. Estimated Processed Value (EPV)is calculated from the protein and oil content from the Chicago Board of Trade prices for soybean oil ($.2714/lb) and 44.0 percentprotein soybean meal ($190/ton). EPVA is calculated on an acre basis by multiplying the yield (bu/acre) times the EPV/bu. We alsowant to acknowledge support from the Nebraska Soybean Board in financially supporting the protein and oil tests.

The rainfall and temperature data were obtained by interpolating across all the weather stations in Nebraska and surroundingstates. The data were supplied by I. Cottingham, Unified Climate Access Network. Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering,University of Nebraska-Lincoln, NE.

PERFORMANCE

Entries generally were listed in tables in order of decreasing yield. Average performance of varieties included in trials in eacharea is shown in Table D.

Performance of entries cannot be measured with absolute accuracy because of variations in moisture, soil fertility and other fac-tors. Also, most fields contain some spatial variability. This is the sixth year of use of a statistical procedure for reducing the spa-tial variability. Because of the many sources of variability, small yield differences have little significance. Differences required forsignificance are shown in each table at the 5% level. This means that differences this great would be expected through chance alonein 1 of 20 trials. A simple way of thinking of these differences is that if all the plots had been the same variety, which would bethe difference that would have been measured. Many soybean varieties have similar yield potentials. Early maturing varieties arefavored in some seasons and later maturing varieties in others. Zone averages and period-of-years averages provide a measure ofperformance over a range of environmental conditions.

Period-of-years data for varieties include two-, and three-year averages. When comparing varieties, it is important to observetheir performance for more than one year. Comparisons are best if they are done over the largest possible number of years. It shouldbe noted that with the rapid development and turnover of varieties, very few varieties have three year averages. We encourage youto use data from many sources in comparing soybean varieties. Nebraska Cooperative Extension has developed two NebGuides toassist you in choosing new soybean varieties. The titles are Using Variety Test Data to Chose Soybean Varieties Part 1 and Part 2.These are available at your local Extension office or on the web at http://ianrpubs.unl.edu/fieldcrops/g1546.htm and http://ianr-pubs.unl.edu/fieldcrops/g1547.htm.

New For 2009

Experts agree - to take yields to the next level, you have to increase plant population while increasing land utilization. Great Plains planters allow you to plant timed twin-rows that maximize root development and allow you to push plant populations, yet harvest with a conventional 30” corn head.

TAKE YIELDS TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
