Abstract

Ammoniun sulfate applied at the rate of 600 kilograms per hectare significantly hastened the date of flowering of single crosses A102 x A106 and A112 x A113 by amount five to seven days in the dry -season, and by only about one day in the wet-season. Additional amount of ammonium sulfate beyond the 300-kilogram rate did not further increase the seed yields significantly. Single cross A102 xA106 flowered about four days earlier; produced significantly heavier and more kernels, and gave significantly higher yield than single cross A112 x A113.
