According to Tsotsls, “The isolation of new genetic sources of prolificacy combined with an ongoing screening and selection program have brought about some exciting new developments in multiple eared com.” Dekalb sees two possible avenues with prolific-type corns that could help far mers produce more corn from every acre. The first is the obvious - prolific hybrids that have the ability to produce two or more good ears from a single stalk at today’s typical population levels. In other words, produce two ears where only one was produced before. In this way, it is hoped, the per acre yield could be in creased. But there is another avenue with prolific corns that could be equally rewarding according to the company. Research shows some prolific-type hybrids have the ability to withstand very high plant populations PUBLIC SALE OF 83-ACRE FARM, LIVESTOCK, HORSE-DRAWN FARM EQUIPMENT SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1974 AT 10:30 A.M.

Dekalb sources point out that additional research and testing is needed before commercial DEKALB prolific hybrids will be available to the farmer, but the recent developments do look encouraging.
