The annual availability of corn genotype is very large, requiring a proper assessment to be indicated for the production of silage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical characteristics of corn genotypes for silage production, and assess whether the grain genetic basis or hardness may change the indication of corn cultivars for silage. The experiment was conducted at the experimental area of the Universidade Tecnológica Federal of Paraná, in the randomized block design, evaluating 30 genotypes of experiment Super Early South. It was evaluated the chemical characteristics of the genotypes and, after they were grouped according to the characteristics of genetic basis and of grain texture. It was found that the genotypes of the experiment South Super Early cannot be differentiated according to the genetic basis of grain and texture for all traits. However, they can be distinguished by the dry matter silage.
A disponibilização anual de genótipos de milho é grande, sendo necessária uma adequada avaliação desses genótipos para serem indicados para a produção de silagem. Objetivou-se avaliar as características bromatológicas da silagem produzida a partir de diferentes genótipos de milho, bem como, avaliar se a base genética ou a dureza dos grãos podem alterar a indicação de genótipos de milho para silagem. O experimento foi realizado na área experimental da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná, no delineamento blocos completos ao acaso, avaliando-se os 30 genótipos do ensaio Sul Super Precoce, organizado pela Embrapa. Avaliaram-se as características bromatológicas da silagem produzida com os diferentes genótipos, posteriormente eles foram agrupados segundo a base genética e a textura dos grãos. Verificou-se que os genótipos do ensaio Sul Super Precoce não podem ser diferenciados segundo a base genética ou a textura dos grãos para todas as características avaliadas. Porém, eles podem ser diferenciados pela matéria seca da silagem.

Since every year public and private companies bring many genotypes of maize to the market, the suitability of these genotypes for the production of silage should be evaluated. Current study evaluates the agronomic and chemical characteristics of early-normal cycle maize genotypes as well as assesses whether the genetic bases (single, double, and triple hybrids, as well as varieties and intervarietal genotypes) and the grain hardness (hard, semi-hard and dentate) modify the indication of maize genotypes for silage. The experiment was conducted at the Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná, campus Dois Vizinhos, Paraná State, Brazil. Thirty-six genotypes were evaluated by a simple lattice design. Grains were harvested at the pasty to farinaceous stage and stored in micro-silos of 100-mm PVC, for 60 days. Neither the different genetic bases nor the different textures of the genotypes influenced the indication of maize genotypes. The early-normal cycle maize genotypes behave similarly for most characteristics assessed, except for the stem diameter and stem dry matter. Moreover, most maize genotypes have suitable characteristics for the production of high-quality silage.
