A TWO-LOCATION TRIAL FOR SELECTING CORN SILAGE HYBRIDS FOR THE HUMID TROPIC: FORAGE AND GRAIN YIELDS AND IN VITRO FERMENTATION CHARACTERISTICS

A two-location trial for selecting corn silage hybrids for the humid tropic: forage and grain yields and in vitro fermentation characteristics

ABSTRACT The goal of our study was to evaluate the nutritional potential of dented corn hybrids for silage production.We performed a two-location trial in which 19 dented corn hybrids and five corn controls grew in four randomized blocks within two experimental areas located in the Northern (Campos dos Goytacazes) and Northwestern (Itaocara) Rio de
