AR16026

One trial involving GEM material (AR16026) was planted in 2011 at two WI locations, Madison (May 27th) and Arlington (May 24th). This trial was planted in triplicates in each of the locations with an average planting density of 32,800 plants/acre. Temperatures throughout the spring were around average for our area. High temperatures were observed around pollination time. Strong winds and heavy rain hit the Arlington station on July 11th causing substantial lodging in some sections of the field. For trial DK2888, advancement decisions were done using primarily the West Madison yield and dry matter data.

Trial AR16026 consisted of the silage re‐evaluation (yield and quality) of seven advanced inbred lines from the GEM program derived from the AR16026:S1719‐052‐2‐B‐B‐B population testcrossed by Holdens tester LH287. Two of the experimental lines was also crossed by UW line W604S. Ten different hybrids (including commercial and internal) were also included as checks.

DK2888

One trial involving GEM material (DK2888) was planted in 2011 at two WI locations, Madison (May 27th) and Arlington (May 24th). This trial was planted in triplicates in each of the locations with an average planting density of 32,800 plants/acre. Temperatures throughout the spring were around average for our area. High temperatures were observed around pollination time. Strong winds and heavy rain hit the Arlington station on July 11th causing substantial lodging in some sections of the field.

Trial DK2888 consisted of the silage evaluation (yield and quality) of 11 advanced experimental inbred lines from the GEM program derived from DK888:N11a08a:440‐001‐B crossed to Holdens’ testers LH244 and LH332. Ten different hybrids (including commercial and internal) were also included as checks. Due to severe lodging observed at the Arlington location, only data from the West Madison location was analyzed and evaluated for advancement decisions.

DKXL212

One trial involving GEM material (DKXL212) was planted in 2011 at two WI locations, Madison (May 27th) and Arlington (May 24th). This trial was planted in triplicates in each of the locations with an average planting density of 32,800 plants/acre. Temperatures throughout the spring were around average for our area. High temperatures were observed around pollination time. Strong winds and heavy rain hit the Arlington station on July 11th causing substantial lodging in some sections of the field.

Trial DKXL212 consisted of the first silage evaluation (yield and quality) of 19 experimental inbred lines from the GEM program derived from the DKXL212:S0912‐117‐001 population testcrossed by UW line tester W604S. Eleven different hybrids (including commercial and internal) were also included as checks.

High temperatures were observed around pollination time. Strong winds and heavy rain hit the Arlington station on July 11th causing substantial lodging in some sections of the field.

Trial GEM01834 consisted of the second silage evaluation (yield and quality) of seven experimental inbred lines from the GEM0183 population and one experimental inbred line from the GEM population GEM0184 testcrossed by Holdens tester LH287. Ten different hybrids (including commercial and internal) were also included as checks.
