What are the silage corn varieties? Introduction to common varieties
Many people like to eat corn, but we know that once corn gets old, people generally do not eat it; it is mostly used as livestock feed or processed into other products. But now, with the progress of agricultural science and technology, people can eat fresh corn all year round. Fresh corn is generally grown from silage corn varieties, so what are those varieties? Let's find out together.
1. Huamu No. 3
The Huamu No. 3 corn variety contains 8.85% crude protein, 47.21% neutral detergent fiber, and 29.85% acid detergent fiber. The planting density is 5000-6000 plants per mu, and the seeding rate is generally 2.5kg/mu. It is suitable for planting in China's spring-sowing early-maturing regions and summer-sowing regions.
2. Huamu No. 6
The Huamu No. 6 variety has a well-developed root system, strong growth, a high ear-setting rate, and good stay-green and palatability. The planting density depends on soil fertility, and 4000-4500 plants per mu is suitable. It is suitable for planting in spring-sowing early-maturing regions, mid-to-late-maturing regions, and summer-sowing regions across the country.
3. Yayu No. 8
The whole plant of the Yayu No. 8 variety contains 45.07% neutral detergent fiber, 22.54% acid detergent fiber, and 8.79% crude protein. The grain test weight is 746g/L, and the grain contains 10.8% protein, 5.2% fat, and starch 75.9%. Generally, about 4500 plants per mu is suitable (about 4500 plants per mu for medium water and fertility soil, and about 5000 plants per mu for high water and fertility soil). It is suitable for planting in Beijing, Tianjin, northern Shanxi, Jilin, Shanghai, and other places.
4. Gaoyou 4515
The Gaoyou 4515 corn variety is a common silage corn variety. The grain contains 10.02% crude protein, 7.69% crude fat, and 69.79 % crude starch. The planting density is suitably 3000-3300 plants/mu. Fertilizer management should focus on base fertilizer, with timely weeding. Corn borers should be controlled, and harvest should be delayed appropriately.
5. Yousi 67
The Yousi 67 corn variety has a growth period of 145 days, and 120 days from emergence to the optimal silage harvest stage. It has good stay-green properties; at the grain maturity stage, the whole plant still has green branches and leaves, and is green and juicy. It is suitable for planting in the Ningxia Yellow River diversion irrigation area and the Yanghuang irrigation area.
6. Zhongbei 410
The Zhongbei 410 corn variety takes 111 days from emergence to silage harvest. Its plant type is semi-compact, with a plant height of 309 cm, an ear height of 143 cm, and 17-19 leaves on the mature plant. The suitable density is 4500-5500 plants/mu, and it is best cultivated on soil with medium or higher fertility in the spring corn region of eastern North China.
7. Zhongyuan Dan 32
When the Zhongyuan Dan 32 corn variety is planted as silage corn at high density, the plant height can reach 300-320 cm. It matures with green leaves and a live stalk, and can be used directly for green feed or silage, or after the grain is harvested, the straw can be used for green feed or silage. It is suitable for spring, summer, and autumn sowing in central China, southern China, and southwestern China.
The above is an introduction to silage corn varieties. Nowadays, silage corn has good planting benefits. When choosing varieties, we should adapt to local conditions and select varieties suitable for local planting. Do you have anything to add about silage corn varieties?
