Find the Right Corn Variety for Your Farm
Search a name or a brand, pick a type, then sort by yield or by days to harvest. Tap a card for the full record.
The average and top yields in tonnes per hectare come from the trials each variety went through to be registered with the NSIC, and from what the seed companies say about their own seed.
What farmers harvest today can be different. Newer harvest records, the season, the place, the soil, the water and the care all move these numbers over time.
So use them to compare varieties, not as a promise for your field. Ask your seller or your agriculturist how the variety did on farms near you in the last few seasons.
No corn variety matches all of these. Clear a filter or two.

How to Choose a Corn Variety
Start with the color your buyer pays for: yellow corn goes to feed mills, while white and glutinous corn go to the table. Next, pick between a hybrid, which yields more but needs new seed every season, and an open pollinated variety, whose seed you can save. Then match the island group in its recommendation, because trials in Luzon and Mindanao give different winners.
Days to harvest
Days from planting to the harvest of dry grain. A shorter crop frees the field sooner and dodges more of the weather, while a longer one often fills more.
Yield
Trial yields come from well managed plots in several places, so treat them as a ranking more than a promise. Compare varieties within the same type.
Ratings
R means resistant and MR moderately resistant. MS and S mean the variety took clear or heavy damage in the trials, so scout it often.
Registered or not
A registered variety passed national trials. One that is not on the registry shows only its seller's numbers, so test it on a small area first.
Pests and Diseases of Corn
The problems that hit corn fields most often. A variety rated resistant to one of these saves you sprays, so check the ratings on each variety page.
