Abstract:
The production of corn forage in Santiago de Anaya, Hidalgo, was carried out with the objective of evaluating the yield of dry corn biomass in a rainfed area, with the purpose of supporting the agricultural sector of Alto Mezquital, Hidalgo. 8 commercial corn hybrids were evaluated and 15 plots of at least one hectare were used; In general, these properties are classified as moderately alkaline to strongly alkaline soils. Regarding the percentage of organic matter (% OM), a range between 1.30% to 2.65% is reported; The real density refers to loam soils (1.3 mg cm-3) and sandy soils (> 1.32 mg cm-3) with a minimum porosity of 27.12 %. It is worth mentioning that a randomized complete block experimental design with two repetitions was used; in addition to pointing out that the hybrids did not receive any type of fertilization. Due to this, the average height (Tukey, p ≤ 0.05) for 404W was 62.90 cm, for AZ20 39.16 cm, for CRM-77 118.90 cm; for 31.7 cm Gladiator; for P2327 the height was 112.50 cm; for P3026W 69.95 cm, for UIG 86.30 cm and for UIGA 79.73 cm.
The hybrids with the highest dry biomass production (Tukey p ≤ 0.05) were: CRM-77 with 4,636 t ha-1, followed by U1GA and P3026W with 3,818 ha-1 and 3,599 t ha-1 correspondingly; same hybrids that generated profits by being economically viable and achieving a net profit per hectare of $17,189.33, $14,672 and $13,650 respectively.
