Abstract:
Based on the climate and ecological conditions in Fujian, a new high-quality, high-yield sweet corn, Mintian 6855, was bred by crossing Mintianxi 688 and Mintianxi 0155. Mintian 6855 showed desirable properties on yield, quality, and adaptability. Its yield determined in a 2-year regional test was 5.8%, which was 14.76% higher than that of control; and, it was 14 854.8 kg·hm
-2 as shown in the production test, which was 3.41% higher that of control. Mintian 6855 had passed the provincial evaluation in May 2016.
