Keys to Corn Silage Hybrid Selection
Selecting the correct hybrid for silage is one of the most important management decisions for silage programs. The following criteria will help select the correct hybrid for maximum corn silage production:
- Choose hybrids that are adapted for the region in which it will be grown.
- Ensure hybrids will respond positively from the operation’s cultural practices.
- Select hybrids that are several days fuller in maturity than those adapted for grain production.
- Good silage hybrids have high grain to stover ratio.
- Good silage hybrids possess the following traits:
- High Forage Yields
- High Digestibility
- Low Fiber Levels
- High Grain Yields
