Synopsis
This book introduces new methods developed for breeding corn, enriching the historical quest for improving this essential crop. The text begins by immersing readers in the early experiments with corn breeding, highlighting that despite the extensive work, no consistently effective methods had been discovered before the author's research. The author describes the techniques and reasonings behind his experiments, which led to transforming methods of corn breeding. Following the first chapter, the book provides a detailed, step-by-step guide to improve yields and protein or oil content, as desired by the breeder. Critically, the author shares findings from three years of his experiments, demonstrating the efficacy of the outlined methods. Delving into the broader thematic significance, this book is essential reading for breeders and farmers invested in corn production, and anyone interested in the history of agriculture. It's a must-have addition to any collection on agricultural science.
