Synopsis
Excerpt from Ten Generations of Corn Breeding
In 1896 the Illinois Experiment Station began the improvement of corn by varying the composition of the grain through selection and breeding. The results of the first two years of these investigations were published in Bulletin No. 55 Improvement in the Chemical Composition of the Corn Kernel. This same work has been carried on continuously since that time, and although several publica tions have been issued in the meantime bearing upon different phases of the subject of corn improvement as it has been developed, including Bulletins 82, 87, 100, and 119, there has, however, been no complete report published of the results obtained in the progress of this original line of work described in Bulletin No. 55.

Throughout the 20th century, corn has been a mainstay of the American diet. The author's contribution to corn breeding helped answer the question of whether we could cultivate corn with a specific chemical makeup, paving the way for the hybridization so common today. This book shares the insights gained over decades of scientific research in the field. It follows the incremental progress of controlled breeding, providing a close-up view of the scientific method in agriculture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334553097_0
