the3oobushel barrier.
BUSHELS
The results are in! Agway
849 X has broken the 300 bushel
barrier to set a new yield record
for the northeast!
Agway 849 X was the winner
of this trial with 312 bushels of
shelled com (adjusted to 15.5%
moisture). This maximum yield
hybrid field corn trial was
conducted by Dr. R. L.
Flannery, Rutgers University,
New Brunswick, NJ. An
average of four plots was used to
determine the results. At a
population of 40,700 plants, over
95% of the Agway 849 X plants
were standing at harvest.
Of course, high levels of
N-P-K fertilizer were used, and
all weeds and insect pests were
chemically controlled. These
sound steps were also matched
by Dr. Flannery, who controlled
the total trial plot environment to
the greatest extent possible to
obtain a maximum yield.
FIRST TIME EVER IN THE NORTHEAST.

northeast. Its vigorous root
structure and rugged tall stalk,
which stays green even after the
ear dries down, give this
champion hybrid excellent
standability.
