SILAGE AND GRAZING CORN

Transcription

1 SILAGE AND GRAZING CORN BrettYoung is pleased to bring the Elite brand of corn hybrids to Western Canada. Selected for the undeniable advantages it provides for ruminant feeding, Elite HTE (High Total Energy) corn is the choice of feed pros. Composed of high-performing traits, the HTE line will become a reliable cornerstone of your feed strategy. HTE hybrids are designed for silage and grazing production and the reliability of HTE hybrids allows you to devote your attention to the other variables you need to control in order to feed your herd.

2 SILAGE AND GRAZING CORN Corn Stalk Root Digestibility NEL Milk/Acre Plant Health Yukon R produces vigorous yields for an early maturing silage/grazing hybrid which, combined with excellent digestibility, is sure to make this hybrid a staple hybrid for cattle producers in early season areas E47A17 R has a combination of outstanding ear development, plant health and digestibility that makes it hard to beat. If you have corn borer pressure, it is available as E47A12 R with the GENVT2P trait Fusion RR is a top-yielding silage corn that is widely adapted for use across Western Canada. It offers great feed quality and top yields Tundra RR is well-adapted to Western Canada s fall and winter seasons as it maintains a high forage quality during the grazing season and offers very good stalk strength required for grazing E53B22 R is a new hybrid that delivers outstanding yield coupled with excellent plant health in both silage and grazing conditions Venza R is a new hybrid from Elite that offers the performance of Murano RR with slightly earlier maturity. See page 38 for a full explanation of terms. 35

E44A02 R is also well-suited to be taken for silage or to be used for grazing in areas that require early maturing corn. E47A17 R A top-performer in the Manitoba Corn Committee trials in 2013, ranking near the top in both yield and drydown. Providing fast emergence and early maturity paired with drydown and bushel weight, E47A17 R will deliver on your farm. E47A12 R Delivers the same genetics and characteristics of E47A17 R, but with Genuity VT Double PRO RIB Complete to deliver the best corn borer protection without the hassle of planting a separate refuge. 36

E48A27 R A top-performer in the Manitoba Corn Committee trials in 2012 and 2013, ranking near the top in both yield and drydown. Plant E48A27 R to achieve your yield and drydown goals in a medium maturity hybrid. E48A29 R Delivers the same genetics and characteristics of E48A27 R, but it comes with Genuity VT Triple PRO RIB Complete to deliver the superior corn borer protection with 10% refuge included in the bag. E50G27 R A grain hybrid that provides high yields and good drydown. E50G27 R fits well in areas without extensive corn borer pressure or as a refuge. E50G22 R Combining fast emergence and early maturity with great drydown and bushel weight, E50G22 R will deliver on your farm. It comes with Genuity VT Double PRO RIB Complete to deliver excellent corn borer protection. 37

5 Corn Glossary of Terms Cannibalization: Tolerance to stalk cannibalization indicates a corn hybrid s capacity not to exhaust its stalk reserves when it lacks nitrogen during a long season. Cannibalization empties the inside of stalks, resulting in greater vulnerability to lodging. Ratings: 9 = Excellent R = Resistant 5 = Average T = Tolerant 1 = Poor S = Susceptable = Not rated Refuge %: See Insect Resistance Management on next page. CHU: Drydown: Corn heat units. Hybrids of similar maturity are compared according to their moisture loss during in-field drying. A rating of 1 indicates a slow drying rate, while 9 indicates a very rapid drying rate. Relative maturity: In the absence of an industry standardized maturity rating, relative maturity can be used to compare hybrids of similar maturity and moisture at harvest. An early maturing variety will have a lower number while later maturing varieties will have a higher number. Ear coverage: A rating of 9 indicates that the husks are longer than the ears. Root: A higher number rating indicates greater root strength. Grain type: VF = Very Flint F = Flint SF = Semi-flint VD = Very Dent D = Dent SD = Semi-dent Milk/ac: NEL: Milk yield per acre based on 100% dry matter Net energy lactation Plant height: S = Short MS = Medium/Short M = Medium MT = Medium/Tall T = Tall VT = Very Tall Spring vigour: Stalk: Stress tolerance: Ratings are set during the 3 to 5 leaf stage. The quality of a stalk refers to its resistance to lodging due to factors such as stalk rot. A higher rating indicates greater stalk quality. A higher rating reflects the hybrid s capacity to produce adequate yields under difficult conditions, such as a colder season, compaction, or a field with a lower yield potential. Test weight: A higher rating indicates a higher test weight. RR2 = Roundup Ready Corn 2 GENVT2P = Genuity VT Double PRO RIB Complete GENVT2P = Genuity VT Triple PRO RIB Complete 38

6 Corn Genuity RIB Complete Hybrids Above-ground Insect Protection Genuity VT Double PRO RIB Complete provides dual modes of action for above-ground protection for control of European corn borer, corn earworm and fall armyworm, which supports a reduced refuge requirement to just 5% of planted acres. Losing just three kernels per ear can equal one lost bushel per acre. Protect your yield with Genuity VT Double PRO RIB Complete. Refuge Configuration Options Genuity Rib Complete Hybrids Above- and Below-ground Insect Protection Genuity VT Triple PRO RIB Complete offers dual modes of action for above-ground pests such as European corn borer, corn earworm and fall armyworm, with 10% refuge included in the bag. Automatic Refuge Compliance With Genuity VT Double PRO RIB Complete and Genuity VT Triple PRO RIB Complete, you are no longer required to plant a separate, structured refuge. A single-bag solution for automatic refuge compliance. Eliminate the hassle of planting separate refuges by planting RIB Complete hybrids. Insect Resistance Management Producers who plant B.t. corn are required to create refuges on their farms. Depending on the technology being used, refuges must be at least 5% or 20%. 95/5 Blend and 90/10 Blend Genuity VT Double PRO RIB Complete corn (95/5 percent blend of insect protected seed and refuge seed) and Genuity VT Triple PRO RIB Complete corn (a 90/10 percent blend) allow you to plant the most insect protected acres across your entire farm.
