Observations on Arachis pintoi.
A small planting ofArachis pintoi was made on 27 May 1994. It was located on Orangeburg
sandy loam (Typic Paleudult). An application of 400 pounds per acre of 0-20-20 fertilizer was
made on 13 May 99. Two harvests were obtained in 1999. These were on 29 July and 15 Oct.
Yield data for 1999 and for the two previous years are presented in Table 13.

Temperate corn.
Cultivars of 22 corn hybrids were plantedin a replicated field trial in. 1999 on a Dothan fine sandy
loam (Plinthic Paleudult) to determine yield and ear quality. The trial was planted on 6 April 99 at
a seeding rate of 2 seeds per foot of row in rows three feet apart. An application of 500 pounds
per acre of 8-24-24 was made on 5 April 99, and 500 pounds per acre of ammonium nitrate was
applied on 22 April 99. Corn was thinned on 6 May 99. Other normal farming practices were
applied to the experimental area. Irrigation was not available to the area. Corn was harvested on
18 Aug. 99. There was essentially no lodging. Data for yield, ear quality, and ear height are
presented in Table 14 and multiple year averages are given in Table 15.

Grain Sorghum-Marianna
Two plantings of grain sorghum were made at NFREC, Marianna in 1999 on Chipola loamy sand.
The early planting of 26 entries was made on 15 April, and the late planting of 24 entries was
made on 15 July.

The April planting was irrigated 7 times at one inch each time. Fertilizer for the April planting
included 400 lb. 16-19-16 + minors on 20 April, 300 lb. 13-13-13 on 27 April, and 250 lb.
ammonium nitrate on 20 May. The harvest was obtained on 10 August, and KS989 had the highest
average yield at 6,548 lb./A Data with respect to yield and other agronomic characteristics for the
April planting are presented in Table 16.

The July planting was irrigated 5 times at one inch each time. Fertilizer for the July planting
included 400 lb. 16-19-16 + minors on 20 July, 300 lb. 13-13-13 on 27 July, and 250 lb.
ammonium nitrate on 20 August. The harvest was obtained on 16 November, and KS989 again
had the highest average yield. The yield was 5,167 lb./A which was lower than the April yield;
however, it was still a good yield. Data with respect to yield and other agronomic characteristics
for the July planting are given in Table 17.

Rainfall data for Marianna are presented in Table 18.

Grain Sorghum Jay
A grain sorghum trial was not conducted at Jay in 1999;. however, Table 19 presents several yields
and averages from work done by Dr. H. A. Peacock from 1992-1997 at WFREC, Jay.
