A field trial for the investigation of early maturity corn hybrids was carried out in the Training and Research Farm "Vecauce" during 1994-1998 and 63 hybrids were studied. Forage quality depending on the part of plant (leaves, stalks, corn-cobs) is reflected in this paper. Per cent of K, Ca, P is analysed in different parts of plant, too. Conclusion is made that corn in Latvia is "total mixed ration plant", but for the production of silage with high energy density hybrids have to be grown which are stable early in maturity.
