Increased Corn Yields and Single Stem Tomatoes From Thinning
An Ohio experiment compares seed tested for germination with untested seed. Thinning corn to three kernels per hill boosts yields from 50.28 to 65.59 bushels per acre with tested seed and from 55.38 to 63.85 with untested seed. thinning time averages 5.7 hours per acre.
