South Carolina Crops

Corn Official Variety Trial – Data – Now Available

The (OVT) Official Variety Trial Data for Corn is available now.

These trials are conducted across South Carolina in both irrigated and non-irrigated environments. These trials are conducted in a small-plot setting and aim to evaluate the genetic potential of various hybrids. This data, coupled with other data such as the on-farm county trials, is a useful tool when selecting corn hybrids for the 2027 crop year.

If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Michael Plumblee or your local county agent. If you are a seed company and wish to participate in the 2027 OVT trials, please reach out to Dr. Michael Plumblee at mplumbl@clemson.edu.
