Table 9. Ovary and Seed Number per Ear of the Mycogen Hybrid 2784 as a Function of Development.

Days Post Pollination	No. of Rows	Ovaries, Developing Seeds, and Nondeveloping, Mature Seeds	Developing Seeds	Other
0 (44)	16.5	675a
7 (11)	16.2	607b	527	79
12 (25)	16.1	511c	418	93
Mature (225)	16.4	386d

Ears were harvested before pollination to determine ovary number, at 7 and 12 d post pollination to determine the number of developing kernels, and at maturity to measure the number of fully developed mature kernels. Numbers in parentheses refers to the number of ears scored. Significant differences are designated by letters.
