Agronomy Notes
Grain samples have been collected each year since 1990 from three locations of the Kentucky Hybrid Corn Performance Test and analyzed for crude protein (CP). The objective was to provide an unbiased comparative evaluation of the CP concentration of com hybrids sold in Kentucky. The results indicate that while management and environment at each test location may have significant influences, CP does differ among hybrid genotypes. The feeding value of specific hybrid genotypes based on their protein concentration may have significant influence in diet formulation for non-ruminant animals due to the amount of supplement needed to properly balance the diet, …
