Seeds gathered by shaking seeds out over a plastic sheet, over 1 kg gathered by two people in about 2 hours. Plants very variable in appearance: a) Completely free of long slender lateral branches (i.e., unbranched) and very slender themselves, to 2.5 meters tall if growing in densest thickets with much shade and intense competition from tall herbs (Tithonia, etc.). b) Robust and branched above, with 3-7 lateral branches, if initially shaded in their lower portions (during early growth) and in competition with shorter plants. c) Branched, with 7 to 9 branches from very base if growing in among the maize plants and free of shading, here to only 1.2 meters tall (i.e. branching quite dependent on whether plants open grown or shade grown). Plants all strictly annual, without any rhizomes. No F1 seen or any evidence of hybridization.1336869PI 441933

During its era of heavy usage the line contributed high yield to single-cross hybrids particularly when grown at moderately high plant densites. In an ASTA 1975 survey reported in The Second Meeting of the Interregional Corn Conference, February 9-12, 1976 in Cincinnati, Ohio; almost 66 million kg (~145 million pounds) of parent seed were used in 1974 for hybrid production for 1975 planting. This represented 6.8% of the total 1975 requirement.
