Subject: 2016 Plot update: Emergence/Early growth

McLeod County, MN

Planted: 4/16/2016
Population: 30,000
Fertilizer: 275# Urea broadcast and incorporated w/ one FC pass. (225# DAP, Potash, AMS) 1/3 of each put on 2 x 2 with planter. Also 5# of zinc.
Pre-emerge: None
Post: Halex GT as soon as it quits raining
Top dress: Coming soon
Previous Crop: 2013-corn, 2014-prevent plant, 2015-corn and lots of it.
Check Hybrid: DK 46-36ss

Early Test:

Gold Country 96-21ss- For you guys in WI this comes in a Jung bag. Guys in Iowa probably find it in a Kruger bag. Brand new.
Nutech 5f-196am- No below ground insect protection. We will see how it holds up against the SS and AMX stuff. Very respectable finishes in FIRST TRIALS.
Pioneer 9703 amx- New to me dont know much about it.
Peterson 86s98ss- Brand new hybrid. Very limited in plots last year.
Renk 596ss- Very high finisher in FIRST trials last few years. Won my mid season plot last year. Can find same hybrid in Latham bag (4859). One of my favorites.
Croplan 3909ss- Brand new hybrid.
LG 5501 vt2- The only other hybrid with no below ground insect protection. Won the FIRST trials for my area last year.
DK 49-72ss- One of my favorite from last year. Did very well for me. Dont have many issues with Goss right now so I like it for COC.

Late Test:

LG 5499ss- Won my entire plot last year as Wensman 9325 around 225 BPA. Been dominate for a couple years now.
Croplan 4199ss- New to me, but have been told its closely related to 5499.
Pioneer 0157 amx- a very high yielder in my area last year. Good late season plant health. One of my P hybrid since 36v51.
Gold Country 102-07ss- Brand new. Also found in a Jung bag and possibly Kruger.
Latham 5219ss- New to me. Very high yielder the last few years. Data points to slow drydown.
Nutech 5L-503- This is a new hybrid from Nutech. It absolutely crushed it in the U of M plots last fall as 0305.
Dekalb 53-68- Had this in my DK plot last year. Kinda lethargic all season, but amazing late season plant health. Think it will be a good COC. Slower drydown
Renk 680ss- Dont know very much about it other than it had pretty decent performance south and west of here as a new hybrid last year.

Finally get a chance to get a few pictures up. Emergence has been very slow. I had a lot of trash on top from last year and that kept the soil cool. I was worried that it would be much worse than it is, but things are actually looking pretty good. I did have some emergence issues in the early test on top of one hill. I may combine that poor area out of the test to even things up a little. The late test actually looks very good.

I did a little scoring of the fast emergence/ early growth. None of them are really bad, and maybe one or two stand out and make you say wow (49-72, 3909 5l-503 and 4199).

top to bottom:

Croplan 4199, Nutech 5L-503, LG 5499, Latham 5219, Pioneer 0157, Renk 680, Gold Country 102-07, Dekalb 53-68. All pretty even for the most part

Dekalb 49-72, Croplan 3909, Pioneer 9703, Gold Country 96-21, Peterson 86s98, LG 5501, Nutech 5f-196, Renk 596. All little more seperating these. Field gets a little tougher.

And of course a few pics:
