The influence of soil productivity on the order of yield in a varietal trial of corn

1933

The following conclusions appear to be justified by the evidence presented: 1. The "stand," or number of plants per acre, is an important factor in a varietal trial of corn. That is, a "stand" suited to each variety is necessary to a fair comparison. 2. The results of a varietal trial of corn are primarily applicable only to soils similar in productivity to that on which the trial was made. 3. Varietal trials on soils of both high and low productivity are required in order to furnish a comprehensive picture of the adaptability and relative standing of different varieties.
