BELMONT was developed to withstand the diseases, insects, and
weather that we have here in the Northeast. But it does more than just
survive our conditions. It performs very well. In four years of testing at
Hershey, PA, BELMONT outyielded such varieties as WL32O, Legend,
Oneida VR and Edge. At Landisville, PA, BELMONT is number one,
outyielding such varieties as WL322HQ, Magnum 111, Aggressor and

Although the exact cause of
some problems can only be
guessed, he said that some of the
things encountered pointed to frost
damages and the effects, hybrids
with pushed maturities, reactions
to late rye residue toxins, and com
borers.
According to Roth, with the
“beer can” ears, the com plant is
apparently healthy and fully grown

reveal a stunted cob and in many
cases few kemnels because of poor
pollination.
He said the characteristic was
reported in record numbers all
across the nation, not just Pennsyl

to damaged caused by late frost
