Many Roots in Germination Linked to Higher Corn Yields
George M. Allee reports on tests from 1921 and 1922 showing that corn ears with many roots in germination tended to produce higher yields. He cites ear to row results, noting ears with 31 to 35 roots averaging 81.26 bushels and ears with 28 to 39 roots reaching 87.19 bushels. He also highlights a mixed-corn sample where ears with many roots outyielded others, and a six-row comparison where high-root plants outperformed poorer-root peers by a clear margin. He concludes a possible correlation between many roots and big yields, tempered by other factors observed in the trials.
