Maize Hybrid Selection (share Your Experiences) by betabread: 1:31pm On Jul 19, 2021 |
I am about to select corn to plant this august break in a swampy location and would love to hear from experienced farmers on the hybrids they have planted and the location. I am targeting fresh market and would like to know how many bags(GADO size) they have gotten from an acre with planting practices they followed to achieve their result................... lets rub minds |

So many Hybrids available but many are plagued by un-even emergence.................... A very scary scenerio a week or two after planting |

betabread:Which variety did you plant in the end and how was the yield? |
Re: Maize Hybrid Selection (share Your Experiences) by betabread: 11:20pm On Feb 14, 2023 |
O Abdullahi4u7: Suwan, my highest yield right now is 2.5 bags per alakpin (1/2 plot)....... Standard in the corn belt is 7-8 bags, but im not ready to pay for the input interms of fertilizer and original hybrid, maintenance of planter...... I hope to push the 4-5bags mark with my current inputs unchanged...... Be that as it may difference in output interms of cob volume is similar I wont advise u to plant this for grain output as its grain to cob volume is small plus it doesn’t fill its cobs well when population is very high |

betabread:So the 2.5 bags you mentioned is when it's harvested fresh? |

Abdullahi4u7: Fresh not dried, I never sell dry corn cos of thieves and pest in my locality |
