چکیده
Cornell University evaluates 95-115 day corn silage hybrids at two locations in central/western NY and 75100 day corn silage hybrids at two locations in Northern New York. We arrange the hybrids in the fi eld into 5day relative maturity (RM) groups (i.e. 95-100, 101105 day hybrids, etc.) and harvest one or more RM groups at a particular site when the hybrids are in the 60-70% moisture range. We also take a 2000-gram sample at harvest to determine moisture and to run silage quality analyses on all four replications of each hybrid at each site.

متن کاملPotential Water Use Conflicts Generated by Irrigated Agriculture in Rhode Island
In recent years agricultural practices in New England have undergone dramatic changes. Traditional dryland crops such as potatoes and silage corn have been replaced by irrigated “landscape” crops; specifically turf and nursery crops. For example, commercial sod production in Rhode Island has risen from 200 acres in 1972 to over 2,500 acres in 1986, while potato acreage has shown a similm declin...
