SE PA | Hybrids that will adjust to growing conditions by changing ear size which allows them to take better advantage of optimum growing conditions. Some hybrids are called "fixed-ear" hybrids and are thought to have a fixed ear size which cannot adjust to the environment. The perception is that a flex hybrid can adjust to good growing conditions and increase its ear size and yield while a fixed ear hybrid cannot. Plant population is therefore considered more important for a fixed-ear hybrid than for a flex-ear hybrid. | |
