Abstract

CO444 is a short season corn (Zea mays L.) inbred line with excellent combining ability and average to superior lodging resistance in hybrids. This inbred performed well as a parent with both stiff and non-stiff stalk inbreds. Excellent yields were achieved with the stiff stalk commercial inbred MBS1236 and the iodent commercial inbred LH176. In addition, when combined with the early inbred CL30, CO444 performed well in the very short season areas of Lethbridge and Vauxhall, Alberta. Key words: Corn, maize, Zea mays, cultivar description
