Abstract: Using 34 cultivars in southwest China as experimental materials, through 9 experiment places in different ecological areas in southwest China, the characteristics, silage yield and quality of different cultivars were analyzed under planting density of 5 000 plants/mu. Five cultivars with yields exceeding 8% of the control Yayu Silage 8 were selected, which were Yuqing 506, Yuqing 386, Yayu Silage 988, Dika 008 and Beinong Silage 368. These varieties not only have high yield and good quality, but also have good disease resistance, lodging resistance and comprehensive properties. They are suitable for planting as silage maize in southwest China.
