Abstract: A corn hybrid is evaluated by a seven-step method. The first step is to obtain a quantity of kernels of the corn hybrid to be evaluated. The kernels are then planted uniformly in a series of soil pots. The kernels in the pots are exposed to uniform germinating and growing conditions in an enclosed area so the kernels develop into seedlings. The most advanced seedling in each pot is selected and the other seedlings removed. The selected seedlings are then exposed to uniform growing conditions so they develop into mature plants. Various physical properties of the plants are then measured and compared to the corresponding physical properties of other corn hybrids.
