2 -Eared Hybrids May
Increase Corn Yields
\s 11m'.iicheis look foi now
ways of inci casing coin yields,
one approach that will receive
moie attention is the use of two
eared hybnds, says Di William
H Mitchell. University of Dela
ware extension agionomist.
He notes that two eared hy
brids have several advantages
On the olhcr hand. iwo-eaml hy
hi ids tend to pioduce at least
one ear under those same con
ditions.
Doubled-eared varieties will
also reduce the risk of low yields
f.om poor stands, points out
Mitchell. If rodents, cutworms
o the cultivator reduces the pop
ulation before the plants are
pollinated, the two-eared hy
brids make up for the loss with
more than one harvestable ear
on the remaining stalks.
But growers shouldn’t expect
to harvest twice as much corn
with the two-eared hybrids, says
Mitchell. Two-eared hybrids
don’t produce two ears on every
plant any more than single-eared
varieties produce one ear on
every plant. The two eared hy
brids merely have the tendency
to produce the second ear.
