Synopsis In experiments conducted in 3 years, spraying nearly mature corn with endothal did not increase significantly the rate of moisture loss. Hand defoliation showed only temporary effects in 1955, whereas a small but statistically signifiant difference was indicated in 1956. No interaction was found between hybrids with inherently different rates of drying and treatments used.
