【 摘 要 】

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.
