The purpose of this study is to evaluate short corn hybrids in 15 in. and 30 in. rows at various planting populations to determine the Economic Optimum Seeding Rate (EOSR) for each row width.

Beck's expected the short corn to respond positively to narrow row widths and higher populations. Additional years of research with different hybrids is needed before Beck's can make definitive recommendations.
