Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the impact of freezing temperatures on the viability of corn intended for use as seed. The author examines the physical and physiological changes that occur in corn kernels when exposed to freezing temperatures, and how these changes affect the corn's ability to…germinate and produce healthy plants. The book begins by establishing the context of the research, explaining that freezing injury to seed corn is a common occurrence in many corn-producing regions and a major concern for farmers. The author then delves into the scientific details of the freezing process, including the role of moisture content and the formation of ice crystals within the kernel. A series of experiments are described in which corn kernels with varying moisture contents were subjected to different freezing temperatures and durations. The results of these experiments are presented in tables and graphs, and the author analyzes the data to determine the relationship between moisture content, freezing temperature, and seed viability. The book concludes with a discussion of the implications of the research for farmers and seed producers. The author provides practical advice on how to select and handle seed corn to minimize the risk of freezing injury, and emphasizes the importance of understanding the science behind seed viability to ensure successful corn production.
