Book Description
"This bulletin reports the results of the 1952 Iowa Corn Yield Test in which the performance of 219 different corn hybrids was compared. The state was divided into four sections, each of which was subdivided into three districts. A test field was planted in each district. Each hybrid entry was tested in all three districts of a section. The map shows how we divided the state into sections and districts and the approximate location of the farm where the hybrids were compared. Any producer of hybrid corn seed was eligible to enter his corn in the test. The widely grown hybrids in each section also were entered by the Iowa Crop Improvement Association. In the back of the bulletin you will find an index listing hybrids tested in 1952. The index also indicates whether the hybrid is a single, three-way, double or multiple cross." -- p. [858]
