Abstract

"In 1970 the Hybrid Seed Corn Industry adopted a new method for rating the maturity of corn. This method uses the thermal unit approach to the prediction of maturity which is more accurate than the old 'days-to-maturity' ratings. This new method is Growing Degrees Day (GDD) and is based on the number of heat units necessary for corn to reach physiologic maturity."--First page.
