Evaluation location: Iowa, United States
Regenerations were performed at the Iowa State University Bruner Farm. The planting date was on 26-May-2025. The harvest date was about or after 1-Oct-2025 when the government shutdown began. The GEM team uses an air planter and sets planter packets to contain 33 kernels aiming for a desired stand per row of 28 plants. Rows are 4.42 meters (14.5 feet) long with a .76 meter alley (2.5 feet) between rows. The increase plots are grown under about a 32,445 plant per acre population. There was no final stand count on the nursery. Plants are sib pollinated in semi-chain plant-to-plant crosses aiming for 100 ears sampled per accession.
