Starr seed yields rise with early maturing varieties
The text compares Starr seed favorably against Span tex Argentine and Spanish com. It notes Starr's higher yield per acre as the main reason for planting and an earlier maturity by 10 to 3 days. A 1200 to 1500 count seed predominates in the area, with stronger plants more disease resistant. For soil, 65 pounds per acre in 38 inch rows is advised, plus irrigation, and fertilizer regimens of 225 pounds of 20-20 per acre then 200 pounds of 16-200, with Elbow rye as fall cover.
