These n
shelle
by Bill Camerer
I'm Bill Camexer, Decider's research director, at left, checking new inbred
with Taylor Doebler, who heads work in hybrid nursery.
Taylor Doebler and I are among
the few guys on the East Coast
who thrive on steamy summers,
searing droughts and hurricanes.
Not that we like them. But there's
no better time to check out new
hybrids under severe stress.
Some ended up on the junk
heap in dry 1991. But look at how
these new hybrids shelled:
Doebler 75X2, 200 bu. at
Rutgers Central NJ trials.
Doebler 73XP, 173.7 bu. in DE's
Georgetown trial.
Doebler 64XP, 188 bu. at Cor
nell's Mt. Morris plots.
Doebler 69XP, 191 bu. at VA's
Orange trials.
Doebler 650 A-3 way, 195 bu. at
Cornell's Hall trials.
Doebler 29XA, 168 bu. at Cor
nell's Ogdensburg plots.

Best new hybrids
in dry 1991
DOEBLER 86XA-2, 121 days.
Knockout for looks, standup
and yield. More days you give
it, the better it shells. Like
161.3 bu. at all locations in
1989-90. And 181 bu. at
Rutgers' 1991 Central trials.
DOEBLER 73XP, 112 days.
Ultra deep kernels mean bonus
bushels. Even in dry years.
Like whopping 173.7 bu. last
fall in Delaware's Georgetown
plots. Super stalks. Healthy.
Shell or chop. But don't crib.
DOEBLER 64XP, 102 days. New
ultra deep kernels. Popped 188
bu. at Cornell Ext's 1991 Mt.
Morris trials. Low set ears.
Great stalks. Top chpice where
grey leaf spot problem. Shell or
chop. Don't crib.
DOEBLER 29XA, 81 days.
Good stalks for maturity. Quick
drydown. Nice grain quality.
And watch it shell. 168 bu. in
Cornell Ext's Ogdensburg plots
in 1991, beating out 42 hybrids.
