The videos below show the tremendous amount of work that has gone into producing this trial with over 70 different varieties trialled in three replicated trial blocks to give a real insight into maoize varieties grown in a really less favoured area, namely south of Launceston in the shadow of Bodmin Moor. The majority of the varieties were Limagrain varieties, but a number of competitor varieties were also trialled, with some of these seen in the videos below highlighting some of the weaknesses in some of them.
'Snouting', a symptom found in certain varieties is also shown, with the consequences also explained, as is the issue of premature senescence where varieties die off before cob maturity is reached, which can lead to acidosis and poor quality silage. I hope these are worthwhile, excuse the novice nature of these videos, they are 'as is' with no editing, so what we saw, you see.
