ND289
Inbred ND289 was derived from NDSA(FS)C4, a population produced using reciprocal full-sib selection with NDSB(FS)C4 as the tester. ND289 showed significantly improved general combining ability for (1) stalk breakage resistance compared to ND301; (2) ear moisture at harvest compared to ND301 and (4) test weight compared to ND301 and ND278. ND289 showed high combining ability for resistance to stalk breakage, performance index and test weight in 1995.
