2015 Colorado Corn Hybrid Performance Trials
Colorado State University conducts hybrid corn performance trials to provide research-based,
unbiased and reliable information to Colorado corn producers so they can select the best
hybrids for their farms. The corn hybrid performance trials are possible by funding received
from company entry fees, the CSU Agricultural Experiment Station, and the Colorado Corn
Growers Association.
Colorado produced over 151 million
bushels of corn on 960,000 harvested
acres in 2015 according to the USDA
National Ag. Statistics Service. The
total value of production was over 604
million dollars in 2014 (most recent year
available). Figure 1 shows the dryland
and irrigated corn acres planted in
Colorado from 1995 through 2014. In
general, there has been a substantial
increase in dryland acreage over the last
20 years, starting from 107,000 acres in
1995 and increasing to a high of 610,000
dryland acres in 2011. Nevertheless,
dryland acreage has decreased every
year since 2011. The increase in dryland acreage (see upward slope of the red line) was
probably due to herbicide tolerant hybrids. No-till and medium-till cropping systems were
ȱ¢ȱ¢ȱǯȱ¢ȱȱęȱȱȱȱ¢ȱȱȱ
crop systems. In some years, higher corn prices have also led to increased corn acreage.
However, the rapid decrease in corn value and stubbornly high prices for corn inputs in
the last year have combined to make corn less desirable and have resulted in reduced corn
acreage.
Figure 2 shows the yearly average yield
for irrigated and dryland corn in Colorado
from 1995 through 2014. There is a steady
linear increase in irrigated corn yield
from 121 bu/ac in 1995 to 191 bu/ac in
2014. Note that in 2006 and 2010 average
¢ȱ ȱŘŖŖȱȦȱȱĴǷȱȱ ȱ
genetics and more precise farming
practices may account for the increasing
general trend in average irrigated yield.
The high average yields in 2006 and
2010 were most likely due to higher than
average growing season heat units (longer
growing season).
The dryland corn yields are highly dependent on weather conditions during the growing
season. The amount and timing of rainfall received can make-or-break dryland corn yields.
Figure 1: Irrigated and Dryland Corn Acres Planted in Colorado from 1995-2014

This was true in the drought years from 2002 through 2006, and again in 2012 and 2013 when
there was not enough rainfall during the growing season and the dryland yield fell below 50
bu/ac. It is hoped that new drought tolerance genetics, applied to hybrids suitable to Colorado
conditions, will change the downward trend of dryland corn yields.
In 2015, Colorado State University personnel planted five irrigated and two dryland corn trials
in eastern Colorado. Irrigated trial locations were Burlington, Holyoke, Rocky Ford, Wiggins,
and Yuma. The two dryland trials were located at Akron and Dailey. Our dryland trials did
not give viable harvest results due to a severe hailstorm (stripping all leaves from plants) on
August 1st at Akron and extensive early-season rodent damage at Dailey. Thirty-five hybrids
with diverse origins, maturities, and value-added traits were tested in our different irrigated
and dryland trial locations. Plot sizes were 150 ft
2. All irrigated trials were planted at 39,000
seeds per acre and Dailey was planted at 17,000 seeds per acre while the Akron trial was
seeded at 14,000 seeds per acre. Seed yields for all trial varieties are reported in the tables.
Yields are adjusted to 15.5% seed moisture content. Each table is intended to be stand-alone,
containing all of the available information for that trial.

Handy Bt Trait Table
Most corn hybrids planted in the U.S. now contain one or more transgenic traits for weed or insect management.
These traits are meant to increase flexibility and profitability for producers, but sometimes also lead to questions or
cause confusion about their spectrum of control or refuge requirements to delay resistance. This bulletin provides a
handy one-stop-guide to understand sales materials, bag tags, and the hybrids you purchase.
Table 1 lists the names of the important ‘events’ (transformations of one or more genes) in corn, their more familiar
Trade Names, the protein(s) expressed, and their pest targets. Table 2 lists specific trait packages (combinations of
events) sold by various seed companies, with their spectrum of control plus refuge % and location. In recent years,
the pyramiding of Bt traits allowed for the reduction of some refuges from 20% to 10% or 5%, depending on the trait
package. Some hybrids still require a structured refuge planted as a block or series of rows (within, adjacent to, or ~½
mile from the Bt field) , but many hybrids are now sold as a convenient refuge-in-the-bag (RIB). But it is still important
to take the following steps:
SB stalk borer
SWCB southern corn borer
TAW true armyworm
WBC western bean cutworm
Herbicide activity
GT glyphosate tolerant
LL Liberty Link, glufosinate-tolerant
RR2 Roundup Ready 2, glyphosate-tolerant

*Understand the biology of each trait, the expected level of control, and refuge requirements;
*Confirm that the seed you ordered the previous year is the seed delivered in the spring;
*Keep good planting records and save a representative sample of bags or bag tags;
*For herbicide applications, Ask Twice-Spray Once, especially if you hire a custom applicator;
*Most important, if you see unexpected damage or poor performance of a trait (especially
damage from corn rootworm), contact your seed dealer and extension educator immediately
so that the field can be visited while the problem is still fresh and samples can be taken.
This is critical to identify and manage cases of rootworm Bt resistance.
This bulletin strives for completeness, but keeping track of Bt traits isn’t easy. For a searchable, easy-to-use database of
GM crop approvals, see the ISAAA web site at http://www.isaaa.org/gmapprovaldatabase
