FROM CHECKERS TO CHESS Same board, different players

Three years ago, I titled my article in this publication, “Jump to the Next Generation”. It featured an analogy between the game of CHECKERS, enjoyed years ago by my grandfather and now my two oldest sons, and the next generation of high yielding hybrids, the ‘22’ series. With three years of checkers under their belt, my sons are now learning to play CHESS, a game played on the same board, but with different players and complexities of moves. The seed business and farming have taken a similar course over the past three years. Many of us are “playing” in the same fields, but the “players” we use and the complexities of moves we make have changed. There has been a power shift. More power is being delivered through the seed today – and that is good news for you, the farmer, and for us, the seed company. While we once delivered yield and agronomic qualities through the seed, we can now solve crop protection problems as well. The use of genetic enhancements along with seed-applied treatments and coatings are our “new players”. The latest examples are the YieldGard Rootworm event, Poncho 1250 seed-applied insecticide and the new YieldGard Plus event with corn borer and rootworm control. All of these products put the power of convenient, effective, time-saving rootworm control into your hands. Our new Sure Gro 130 Profit Pack is another convenient, effective, time-saving “player” to help solve problems in your soybean fields. More uniform stands, less need for replanting, having the right amount of seed to finish the field, freedom to choose the right variety regardless of seed size, and having the opportunity to reduce seeding rates without fear of poor emergence are all powerful new moves afforded by this new player. As we look to 2004, we thank you for your commitment to the playing field of agriculture. We are committed to providing you the most powerful combination of “players”, backed by timely service and support to help you win the game of profitability on your farm. Sincerely, Scott Beck Vice President

Insect Resistance Management and Product Stewardship

Growers of YieldGard Corn Borer (Bt 1 andCB) are required to plant a non-Bt corn refugerepresenting at least 20% of their total cornacres within ½ mile of each Bt corn field. Therefuge can be treated with a non-Bt insecticideif pest pressure exceeds the economicthreshold. The refuge can be planted as aborder, block, strip, or as a separate field.

LibertyLink hybrids are designed for use withLiberty herbicide. Beck’s LibertyLink hybridsare cleared for all domestic and foreign useand consumption. Farmers using Libertyherbicide on Bt 1 corn hybrids typically useLibertyLink hybrids in their refuge acres tomaintain the same herbicide programthroughout the field.

> 14.9 Bu./A. Difference** (includes hybrids not

published in this report) *Bushels per acre corrected to 15.5% moisture. **Note: Some experimentals were omitted due to limited space on this page.

Summary: In 1999, under extremely dry conditions, the difference between the two soil types was over 63 Bu./A. on average, with every hybrid showing an advantage in the HP soil. In 2000, when rainfall was more prevalent, only 21.4 Bu./A. separated the two soil types, and two experimental hybrids showed advantages in the MP soil. In 2001, we suffered a short dry period during late July – early August but had ample rainfall in late August. Consequently, we saw a 35.4 Bu./A. average advantage for all hybrids in the HP soil.

This year’s abundant rainfall led to the smallest difference between soil types with only 14.9 bushels per acre on average separating the yields in the HP soil from those in the MP soil.

22 BECK'S Early Plant™ Corn Technology and Planting Date Study - 2003

RAINFALL Location: A7 plot Previous Crop: Corn April 1.5 in. Harvested: September 29, 2003 Tillage: Plow / S-tine May 7.7 in. Rows: 30” rows Herbicide: 2.25 qts. Bicep II Magnum June 2.0 in. Population: 29,000 – 31,000 seeds/A. Insecticide: Aztec July 10.4 in. August 5.2 in. Note: All hybrids treated with FaSTart in this study Total 26.8 in. Purpose: We know from our “Practical Farm Research” that earlier planted corn generally has

greater yield potential than corn planted late. One trend that we are seeing in agriculture is that the average farm size continues to get larger. As farm size increases, it becomes a challenge to plant all acres in a timely manner. Beck’s and Landec Ag are working together to bring Beck’s customers the latest in seed coating technology, Intellicoat Early Plant™. This polymer technology controls the germination of seed and provides protection from chilling injury in harsh early soil environments to enable early planting even in cold conditions. Intellicoat Early Plant™ technology enables farmers to take advantage of suitable field working days that occur two to three weeks prior to traditional planting dates. With Early Plant™ corn technology, farmers are offered the opportunity of planting a portion of their fields early when the potential for high yields is greater.

23 BECK'S Early Plant™ Corn Technology and Planting Date Study -

(continued) - 2003

Summary:

Our long-term average has shown that early April is the highest yielding time to plant corn. Yields gradually decline after late April. In 2003, the early April planted corn had greater yields than later planting dates. Corn treated with Intellicoat Early Plant™ technology out performed non-coated corn (planted on the same date) by 16.4 bushels per acre. Corn planted on April 4th did not show an advantage with Early Plant™ coating this year, but the early April planting did show an advantage last year. Farmers can realize the greatest advantage for Early Plant™ technology by comparing Early Plant™ yields to yields on later planting dates. This is the real time saving exchange that the farmer is making by using Early Plant™ technology. In our test, the yield advantage was over 67 bushels per acre for using Early Plant™ technology in late March compared to our mid to late May plantings. Early Plant™ technology is an additional $35 dollars per unit. If market corn price is $2.25 per bushel then 5-6 bushels of added yield will pay for the technology. The best planting time for the Early Plant™ corn is 2-3 weeks before the normal planting date for your area. We think late March is the right time to plant in Central Indiana to get the full benefits of this technology.

Summary: In parts of our marketing area corn rootworm pressure is very severe in both corn

following corn and first year corn (corn following soybeans). In high pressure areas Beck’s Practical Farm Research, along with university research, has shown that the rootworm resistant corn has out performed insecticide treatments. Our research site in Atlanta had very little corn rootworm pressure this year, so the results are not as consistent with those trends. The lowest yield in the study came from Beck’s 5727RW, which had 3,000–4,000 lower population. Beck’s 5166RW at the normal population performed more consistent like the other treatments tested.

Summary: In 2003 we had minimal rootworm pressure, mostly due to the water-soaked soils. We saw a difference of 3.7 bushels per acre for the rootworm event while moisture and test weights were nearly identical. While these two plots indicate some variation within a hybrid with and without the rootworm trait in first year corn, the most meaningful results can be found by looking at several test sites in different environments and degrees of pest infestations. The greater the rootworm pressure, the greater value that the trait provides to the farmer.

YieldGard® Rootworm (RW) YieldGard Rootworm hybrids provide season long root protection from corn rootworm larval feeding so no granular insecticides are needed. All YGRW hybrids are treated with FaSTart™ to control secondary pests like wireworm, early flea beetle, seed corn maggot and white grub. Insect Resistance Management (Rootworm) Growers of YieldGard Rootworm are required to plant a corn refuge that does not contain Bt technologies that control corn rootworm. The refuge must represent at least 20% of the grower’s total corn acres and must be within or adjacent to the YieldGard Rootworm field. The refuge can be treated with a non-Bt soil-applied, seed-applied or foliar-applied insecticide if pest pressure exceeds the economic threshold. If adult corn rootworm beetles are present in the refuge when the refuge is treated, the YieldGard Rootworm portion must be treated in a similar manner. The refuge can be planted as a block or strips within the YieldGard Rootworm field or as an adjacent field.

which is what we found. We did, however, see a large advantage of 10.6 bushels per acre for the corn borer trait, which indicates some level of corn borer infestation. When evaluating the value of various traits, the most meaningful results can be found by looking at multiple test sites in different environments and degrees of pest infestations. The greater the pest pressure, the greater value that the traits provide to the farmer. In addition, convenience, safety, and the savings of time also contribute to the value of the trait.

"BECK 5422RW is outstanding. It hit a high of

257 bushels per acre out of four checks. It had 19% moisture, great test weight and was standing well. This is the kind of hybrid that makes you money. It's close to unbelievable. This is the highest yielding corn we've ever raised. The whole 75 acres averaged 222 bushels per acre. I called down to Beck's and ordered an additional 100 bags of 5422RW for next year."

Corn Borer Facts:

European corn borer overwinter in crop and weed residue. The severity of damage along with the population of European corn borer is difficult to predict from year to year because of the environmental factors that effect its survival. We do know that the earliest planted corn along with the latest planted corn is at most risk for damage. First generation European corn borer attacks the stalks while second generation will attack the stalk, ear shank and tassel. Each female European corn borer moth can produce over 400 eggs spread over numerous plants and fields. When we have a severe outbreak (1 in every 5 to 6 years) we will see a wider window where damage occurs. Damage on average is 5% reduction in yield from every European corn borer per plant per acre. Protecting the first 15% of your acres planted and the last 15% of your acres planted with a Bt hybrid will reduce your risk of losses from European corn borer.

Different Bt Events:

MON 810 was released in 1996 by Monsanto. MON 810 has resistance to both first and second generation European and Southwestern corn borer with some suppression of corn earworm. Beck’s designates this event as (CB). MON 810 is not resistant to Liberty herbicide. Bt 11 was released in 1996 from Syngenta. Bt 11 has resistance to both first and second generation European and Southwestern corn borer with some suppression of corn earworm. Beck’s designates this event as (Bt 1). This event is resistant to Liberty herbicide. Herculex I was released in 2001 from Mycogen Seeds (Dow AgroSciences) and Pioneer Hi-Bred International (Dupont). Herculex I provides resistance to both first and second generation European and Southwestern corn borer along with black cutworm and fall armyworm. Beck’s is evaluating this event in experimental hybrids. This event is resistant to Liberty herbicide.

Purpose: In our attempt to reach 300 bushels per acre, we have tried several different approaches in the past 23 years. In the early years, we increased our populations and applied extremely high rates of fertilizer as well as some micronutrients. In the middle years, we tried using different tillage methods like v-rip, chisel, and moldboard plow. Since 1991, we've been testing zone-till vs. conventional to study the long-term effects of these methods.

Now in 2003, we are testing ultra-high populations and twin rows using conventional-till practices. Our next phase of research will also compare crop rotation patterns where we will look at continuous corn, two year corn/one year bean, and corn after soybean rotations.

BECK'S 300 Bu. Attempt (continued) – 2003

Summary: This year we fell surprisingly short of our 300 bushel per acre goal, considering the high corn yields in our area in general. Excessive moisture in this low-lying field reduced the amount of available nitrogen, thereby putting a cap on the plants ability to produce higher yields. Beck 5229 in twin rows at 39,000 population was our plot winner overall at 226.8 bushels per acre. It is unusual for a determinate ear hybrid to win a high yield test, but because 5229 is an early user of nitrogen and likes high populations, it took advantage of the additional spacing provided in the twin rows and out-yielded the second place hybrid by over 10 bushels per acre. Even though we planted the twin rows five days later than the 30” rows, they produced the most yield overall, and as expected, had slightly higher moisture due to the later planting date. They handled the stress of 39,000 population much better than the 30” rows, both in yield and resistance to stalk and root lodging. However, the 30” rows at 31,000 population provided nearly equal yield and standability to the twin rows. While we don’t consider this test as a direct comparison between twin rows and 30” rows, due to the planting date difference, the agronomic characteristics we saw relating to stalk and root lodging and overall performance would likely be repeated if this test was done again and all plots planted on the same date.

BECK'S 300 Bu. Historical Data High Fertility Zone-Till vs. Conventional-Till – 1991-2001

Summary: In eleven years of testing, the zone-till areas have out yielded the conventional areas only three

times. In our other zone-till vs. conventional test on less productive soil, the zone-till yields have averaged 7.5 bu./a. more than the conventional areas for the past seven years. We believe the long-term research findings are showing us that zone-till yields will exceed conventional yields over time in light and medium productivity soils, but that conventional methods may have the long-term advantage on the very dark, highly productive soils, like this Genesee silt loam soil.

Summary: The corn stayed erect, put on small ears, and could be harvested very well with our 30” four-row plot combine with minimal grain loss. To our amazement the yield was the highest of any of our corn research projects this year. We are not ready to recommend this practice yet, but plan further research in 2004.

Purpose: To establish a long-range study to compare Zone-Till with Conventional-Till. In this study, we are looking at how eight different corn hybrids respond in yield, moisture, emergence, test weight, stalk quality, and disease resistance. We are also looking at how both types of practices affect soil tilth, water movement, and earthworm populations. Except for zone tilling the 7" strip where the corn is planted and injecting the 28% nitrogen 6" deep between the rows, we have not tilled the zone-till area the past 13 years.

Summary: The graph shows how yields improved in zone-till areas after the third year, and consistently out-yielded conventionally tilled areas thereafter, except for the past two years. We believe soil type greatly affects the degree to which hybrids respond to zone-till practices.

Increased earthworm and microorganism populations have helped improve the tilth of this medium productivity soil type. The dry weather during parts of the season, especially in August for the period 1995-2001, may also be contributing to higher yields in zone-till areas, due to their greater moisture holding capacity.

Since 1995, yields in zone-till have averaged 4.9 bushels per acre more than yields in conventional.

D3 plot April 28, 2003October 6, 2003Two 30" rowsThree (averaged)

Summary: The top three graphs above represent different hybrid types for ear flex. Beck 5229 is a determinate-eared hybrid and the yield continues to increase with increased populations. Beck 5322 is a flex-eared hybrid that reaches a peak for yield and decreases with too much population. The third hybrid, Beck 5727, has an intermediate flexing potential and doesn't significantly decrease yield until the highest populations. The variable spacing study (bar graph above) continues to show significant differences. Having uniform spacing offers an excellent return per acre. By looking at the data on this and the opposite page you can decide the optimum population range for each hybrid. Keep in mind that this test was conducted on medium-high productivity soils and the populations listed were final populations. In general, you should slightly reduce populations in soils with less productivity. Also as a general rule, lodging increases as population increases as is shown by the line graph above.

Purpose: One key management decision to maximize return per acre is choosing the correct population for each hybrid for a given soil type. This is the eighth year of an ongoing study to learn the specific population at which our current hybrids optimize their yield. The final stand populations range from 18,000 to 39,000 plants per acre in increments of 3,000 plants per acre. The graphs on this and the following page demonstrate the optimum population for each hybrid. Keep in mind that one year data may not produce a smooth curve. The graphs below show multiple year data on three hybrids with different ear types. The graph on lodging displays the lodging of all hybrids across years. The graph in the lower right compares variable to even spacing at the same final population rate.

Purpose: Twin row planting is not a new idea, but has been recently revived by Great Plains Manufacturing who now offers twin row planters in the market place. The purpose of this study is to compare 30” rows to twin rows at different populations. We planted 30” rows at eight populations ranging from 18,000 to 39,000, and we planted twin rows at eight populations ranging from 24,000 to 45,000. The twin row planting occurred four days after the 30” rows, so any interpretation of the results needs to take this difference into account.

OVERALL 30” 57.7 0.2 1.8 21.1 216.1 +11.1 AVERAGE Twin 57.2 0.3 4.2 22.6 205.0 Population Summary:

The overall advantage for 30” rows showed 11.1 bushels more yield and 1.5% drier, 0.5 lb. higher test weight, and 2.4% less stalk lodging. The 30” rows provided slightly more consistent yield across all populations, and produced maximum yields at 33,000 population. The twin rows produced their maximum yield at 36,000 population. We anticipated the twin rows would allow for higher yields at the 42,000 or 45,000 populations, since spacing between plants would be increased even though populations are high. This was not the case, however, and the 42,000 and 45,000 populations produced the lowest yields.

While yield and moisture differences may be somewhat attributed to the four day later planting date, the common difference that occurred at every population was a larger percent of stalk lodging in the twin rows. We would have expected the opposite to occur since plants are less crowded in twin rows.

While this one study shows an overall disadvantage for twin rows, the twin rows did produce the highest yields in our 300 bushel attempt also published in this book.

Hybrid Summary:

On average, all hybrids showed a yield advantage in the 30” rows except for BECK 5538, which showed a 2.5 bushel per acre advantage in the twin rows as well as a lower percentage of stalk lodging compared to the other hybrids. The extremely upright leaves of BECK 5538 is one agronomic characteristic that may allow it to thrive in the type of plant spacing that twin rows provided. It performed relatively well in the twin rows in our 300 bushel attempt.
