Yield and nitrogen composition of two single-cross corn hybrids when grown in alternate rows
1949
Kurtz, T. | Melsted, S.W. | Bray, R.H.
Two single-cross hybrids, WF9XHy and K4XL317, were grown in alternate rows in small plots with different treatments of fertilizer and water at Urbana in 1947. The yields of grain and stover and their nitrogen composition were determined for each hybrid within each plot. In this experiment, it appeared that K4XL317, in competition with WF9XHy, did not yield as well under unfavorable conditions and that it responded more to water than WF9XHy. Stover of K4XL317 was higher in nitrogen than that of WF9XHy, but the difference in nitrogen content of the grain was not significant. Both hybrids responded to the nitrogen, water, and the combination phosphorus-potassium-minor element soil treatments.
