Table 8. Medium-season yield, agronomic, and quality data across REC locations

Table 8-a. Mean yield and agronomic traits of 29 medium-season (114-116 DAP) corn hybrids evaluated in small plot replicated trials at eight AgResearch and Education Center locations in Tennessee during 2021. Analysis included hybrid performance over a 1 yr (2021), 2 yr (2020-2021), and 3 yr (2019-2021) period.
