Comprehensive listings of hybrids and varieties in the 2022 FIRST trials are available at the links below. Seed products are listed in a searchable, and sortable table.
Seeds that were tested in prior years each have a link ⇗ to a complete per-product results report. See all product results from 2019-2021 in the Seed Product Search.
PDF versions of the 2022 Products Tested Directories are also available, with full contact details for each of our sponsor and participant brands:
More information on testing procedures, measurements, and reporting are available at these links: Corn Grain Soybeans Corn Silage
FIRST trials are arranged in regions of several contiguous counties, with 5-6 plot locations for corn grain and 4 locations for soybeans and corn silage that are representative of the area. Each seed entered in the region is tested at all locations in order to provide 18-20 small plot observations in the entire region.
FIRST encourages you to use the Region Summary Reports published after all locations are harvested to evaluate the best performances across a range of locations and environments.
Region test plans with the number of entries and maturity range are listed below. Tests are often split into different maturity ranges.
The different maturity tests are abbreviated as:
