Excerpt from Sweet-Corn Inbreds and Crosses<br/><br/>Any remaining doubts which corn breeders may have had were dispelled by the severe drouths of 1934 and 1936, which demonstrated that crosses give the greatest comparative increases in yields over open pollinated strains under the most severe conditions.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development and impact of single-cross hybrids in the sweet corn industry. Before the discovery of inbreeding and crossbreeding techniques, corn yields were vulnerable to the annual fluctuations of weather. This book illustrates how the introduction of hybrids provided farmers with a more stable crop, proving particularly valuable in drought years. The author presents a detailed analysis of the methods used to develop and maintain superior inbred lines, emphasizing the importance of careful selection and testing. The book also examines the specific contributions of twelve inbred lines released by the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station, tracing their performance in various crosses and discussing their impact on the industry. Through detailed yield performance data and historical context, this book offers valuable insights into the development of sweet corn hybrids, highlighting their significance in ensuring a more reliable and bountiful food source.
