Agronomic characteristics of corn cultivars for silage production

Abstract: The objective of this study was to assess agronomic characteristics of five corn cultivars (BRS 1055, BRS 3035, BRS 2022, SÃO JOSÉ and BRS CAIMBÉ) recommended for silage production in Pernambuco State. At this productivity of green matter (PGM), productivity of dry matter (PDM), number of corn ears (NCE), plant height (PH), ear insertion height (EIH), plant population (PP), percentage of broken plants (PBP) and proportions of ear, stem, and leaf in the GM and DM were determined. The experiment was set up in a… Show more

“…This also occurred in a study carried out by Neves et al (2015) when analyzing agronomic characteristics of maize cultivars for silage production in Agreste Pernambucano, where it was verified mean plant height equal to 2.00 m and mean 1 st ear height equal to 0.74 m; the region of the experimental unit was located in semiarid climate, with temperatures varying from 32.6 °C (maximum) to 11.7 °C (minimum) and annual average rainfall of 655 mm. The soil tillage systems did not influence the amount of viable ears (Table 5).…”

“…For this reason, [65] suggested corn crop for silage production. [66] evaluated five short cycle corn cultivars, recommended for silage production in semi-arid regions, and observed a productivity of 8.04 tons of DM/ha (6.12 to 9.68 tons of DM/ha).…”

“…O sorgo, devido suas peculiaridades, é uma forrageira desejável para ser ensilada, apresenta alta produtividade e possibilidade de rebrota, boa adaptação em ambientes com escassez de chuvas, facilidade de manejo, picagem e armazenamento do material, além de uma boa capacidade de compactação (1,2). Os bons níveis de carboidratos solúveis e alta produção de matéria seca (MS) favorecem o sorgo, essas qualidades promovem uma taxa de fermentação lática na massa ensilada, tornando adequada a produção de silagem com agregado valor nutritivo (3).…”
