Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between seed ear characteristics and the productivity of corn across different varieties and environments. The author utilizes statistical analyses to examine correlations among eight key ear characters and yield, revealing trends and patterns. Despite the complexity of the interactions, the author identifies several consistent relationships, including positive correlations between yield and weight of ear and length of ear and negative correlations between yield and number of rows and number of kernels per row. These findings challenge the traditional emphasis on tight-fitting kernels and suggest that selection for larger ears with proportionately heavy cobs and fewer rows of wide, thick kernels can be a more effective strategy for obtaining a supply of good seed for general planting. The book offers valuable insights for corn breeders and farmers seeking to improve the productivity of their crops. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
