To determine the thermal units required for yellow corn development, five hybrids were planted at “Don German” farm, located in the district of Cañete (Lima-Peru), in two sowing dates (November 13, 2012 and January 18, 2013), in a Randomized Complete Block Design with six replications. The hybrids evaluated were: NB 7316 (triple), NK 254 (single), Dekalb 7088 (simple), AG 1596 (simple), and NK Impact (single double haploid). Phenological intervals assessed were: sowing to emergency, emergency to tasseling and sowing to tasseling. Three models were used to calculate the thermal units in each phenological interval: The modified residual model with 10°C as base temperature (TT10), the Ontario model (C.H.U.), and the Ometto model. The results obtained indicate that within hybrids the most precocious was NK Impacto with 57 days on average of the two planting dates, followed by AG-1596 and NB-7316 with 72 and 76.5 days, respectively, and finally NK-254 and Dekalb 7088 with 79 and 80.5 days, respectively. However, the difference in days elapsed between the first sowing date and the second was not constant for all hybrids. It was higher in Dekalb 7088 (19 days) and lower in NK Impact (4 days). Within each phenological interval the thermal unit values were higher when they were calculated using the C.H.U. model and lower when the TT10 model was used. The OMETTO model, showed intermediate values. For each model evaluated there was no agreement in the thermal units calculated for the two planting dates, in any of the five hybrids. The hybrid that produced the highest yields in both planting dates was AG-1596 (15.753 t ha-1 on average) while those that produced the lowest yields were NK-254 and NK Impact (9,291 and 9,277 t ha-1, respectively).
