The effects of dates of planting and harvesting on yield, quality and development of forage maize were investigated in a 3-yr study. Treatments studied were all possible combinations of five planting dates, spaced at 2-weekly intervals from late April to mid-June, and three harvest dates (mid-September, early and mid-October). Between early May and mid-June, each 1-day delay in seeding resulted, on average, in a 1% reduction in whole-plant digestible dry matter yield. In vitro dry matter digestibility was not significantly affected by date of harvesting but was reduced progressively from 66 to 63% as the date of planting was delayed. Although grain content varied from 0 to 50% of whole-plant dry matter, it had little effect on the in vitro digestibility of forage maize, which only ranged from 62 to 68%, when whole-plant dry matter contents were acceptable for direct ensiling. During the grain-filling period (450–1600 corn heat units after mid-silking), whole-plant dry matter content (%) was linearly relat...
