Background:

The objective will be achieved using conventional corn breeding methodology enhanced by double haploid inbred production and specialized screening techniques for cold tolerance and disease resistance. The trial is being conducted at sites across five Canadian provinces. The anticipated impact of developing earlier maturing, cold tolerant corn will expand the acreage of corn production in Canada.
