- Abstract
Were evaluated twelve commercial corn hybrids with hard and dent grains in two locals in South Central of Paraná State, South Region, Brazil, with the objective of study the effect of the vitreousness of the grains in agronomic behavior, nutritional value and digestibility dry mass of grains and forage, at the silage maturity. The experimental design was randomize blocks, and the harvest for forage and gains quality analysis was performed at the ¾ of the milk line stage in grain, corresponding at silage maturity. Were evaluated yield characteristics, vitreousness, digestibility of grains and forage, as well as bromatological characteristics of the evaluated hybrids. There was significant effect to locals, hybrids and to interaction hybrids x locals, in important forage quality characteristic. The vitreousness analyses possibly to verify corn genotypes with grains textures ranging from 50.1 to 75.2%, showing variability available for the character in commercial hybrids. The hybrids AS 1572PRO and AG 8041PRO, with dent and semi dent grains, stood out and can be recommended as high productivity of digestible dry matter.
