Corn Seed Enhancement Trial Project C NCE or C CCE Northern and Central

Transcription

1 Corn Seed Enhancement Trial Project C NCE or C CCE Introduction and Background Objective An ongoing testing program evaluating seed enhancement products for corn. The overall objective is to evaluate the effects of seed enhancement products on two corn hybrids. The specific objective includes quantifying differences in stand establishment, grain moisture, and grain yield for each enhancement. Testing Requirements detail & outline Locations: Two separate trials will be offered. Choose one or both. NORTHERN Corn Belt Trial: Contract Research Organization (CRO) administered sites across the states of N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin will be utilized. CENTRAL Corn Belt Trial: Contract Research Organization (CRO) administered sites across the states of Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio will be utilized. Checks: One base treated control per trial will be included. Also, a third hybrid (to be planted across all IPSA corn trials) will be maintained as a program check across all trials. All enhancement recipes will be applied to base treated seed. Seed: Only graded seed will be utilized. Untreated seed (provided by IPSA) will be sent to a research treating lab selected by RFS to be treated or if a subscribing company chooses, RFS will have the untreated seed sent to the subscribed company for treatment. Treated seed will be returned to the Great Plains lab for distribution. The three hybrids utilized in the trials will be glyphosate, corn rootworm, and European corn borer tolerant. 1

2 Corn Seed Enhancement Trial Project C NCE or C CCE Entries: Participants must be subscribed, and products identified by product name or active ingredient before March 1. Cost per recipe is $3,900 for either the CENTRAL or NORTHERN trials. Placing an entry/ recipe in both trials is $7,500. Invoicing for 50% will occur immediately and again on August 31, All products must be sent to Tim Case (address listed below) by March 10. All entry/recipes must carry along the pertinent SDS (if available), specific gravity information, treating instructions and be identified by commercial product name, active ingredient, or EPA registration number. No undefined recipes will be allowed in this trial. Undefined entry/recipes will be moved to the appropriate Experimental Crop Destruct trial (C or C18-006). Late Entries: Late subscriptions between March 1 and March 15 for an additional cost of $500 per entry/recipe will be accepted. Total cost for each late entry/recipe is $4,400 per trial. Invoicing for 50% will occur immediately and again on August 31, All late entered products must be sent to Tim Case (address listed below) by March 18. Grain: Design: This trial is a normal grain channel project. Experiment will be set up as a separate RCBD for each hybrid in the study, having 3 replicates for each entry/recipe and minimum plot dimensions of 4 rows wide x 30 foot. All data points will record from the center two rows (Data Rows - DR). Plots will be managed as normal grain channel NON-CROP DESTRUCT research. Additionally, no in-furrow, banded or field applied insecticides will be used by the contract research organizations during the field stage of the trials. Herbicide: Glyphosate or conventional herbicide will be used to control weeds. Shipping: Tim Case Great Plains Crop Services 89 Broadway Ave Groom, TX Office (806) Mobile (806)

3 Corn Seed Enhancement Trial Project C NCE or C CCE Collected Data: To be performed on the DR Emergence & Vigor rating actual count - standardized vigor rating Agronomics Root Lodging - # plants exceeded 30% angle Harvesting Stalk Lodging - # plants broken below the ear attachment Harvest Moisture - of Grain Harvest weight - of Grain Test weight - of Grain Dimensions - Plot length, width, and alley Plots are to be harvested with standard research type equipment and appropriate maturity of standard cropping practices. NOTE yields adjusted to 15.5 percent moisture. Other locational events such as summer root lodging, green-snap, etc., will be recorded if determined to be of consequence or informative. To be performed on the SEED Cold Germination Lab germ after treating Warm Germination Lab germ after treating Sample Retention All trial entries seed to be retained for a Cold and Warm Germination re-run. 3

4 Reporting Corn Seed Enhancement Trial Project C NCE or C CCE 1. Site specific information (GPS coordinates, milestone dates, location comments, etc.) will be available as the season progresses. 2. Vigor and Stand data will be made available before July 1 3. A research report with analysis of results will be generated by the project management company (RFS) and provided to subscribing companies as harvest progresses. This will include the individual plot data from the treatments and the checks. The final research report will be prepared by RFS. Distribution of final report will occur as soon as feasible after receipt of all field data. 4. Along with the data analysis, the final research report will include but not limited to, planting dates, harvest date, visual observation notes, summary of growing season, summary of data by location and across locations, and a general summary statement for each protocol and averages across locations, treatment entry warm and cold germinations, location fertility, location soil classifications, fertility program, location soil test, location weather data, and a methodology of each treatments application. 5. ALL Raw data and a sample of the final treated seed is available upon request 6. All effort to compile and present multi-year analysis will be included. Bob Foley RFS Global bob@rfsone.com
