Pedigree
Date released:
1987
Description:
Composite of over 140 inbred lines available in 1952. Composition was 40 late, 50 medium late, 21 medium maturity, 14 early, and 15 very early inbred lines. The initial planting was done over a period of time where the late materials were planted early and the early late so that the lines would intercross. This practice continued with interplanting of the different maturities. The synthetic was planted every three years for about 11 or 12 cycles of selection for standability and better looking plants and ears.
