An evaluation event for newly developed domestic varieties of forage corn will be held in Ulsan.

The Ulsan Agricultural Technology Center (Director Shin Taeman) announced that on the 4th at 11 a.m., it will hold the "Domestic New Variety Forage Corn Variety Evaluation and Harvest Timing Meeting" in the Dungiri area of Samdong-myeon, Ulju-gun.

On this day, about 30 participants from local forage management bodies and Hanwoo farms will have the opportunity to share regional adaptation demonstration results of three domestic new varieties of forage corn developed by the National Institute of Crop Science (Gwangpyeongok, Dacheongok, Sinhwangok) and one imported variety (Pioneer).

Feed corn.

This regional adaptation demonstration was conducted over two years from March last year to this year by selecting two forage management bodies with favorable forage corn cultivation conditions and production experience.

Among the domestic forage corn varieties, Sinhwangok is an early maturing variety that can be harvested before typhoons arrive, and Dacheongok is a mid-late maturing variety that has higher yield (23.7t/ha) and nutritional value compared to imported varieties, and is also strong against lodging caused by disasters such as typhoons.

An official from the Agricultural Technology Center said, "This regional adaptation demonstration is expected to greatly contribute to discovering domestic new varieties of forage corn suitable for the region and expanding the distribution of the selected new forage corn varieties to farms."
