Abstract

As seed technology fees rise, use restrictions tighten and market options narrow, more organic and conventional producers are re-examining open-pollinated seed corn. These producers need to have more information about how to manage open-pollinated corn. The objective of this study was to start to identify the optimum plant density for planting open-pollinated corn.
