Levels of potassium in the stover and the ear and of strontium in the stover of double‐cross corn hybrids, Zea mays L., were significantly correlated with the average level of accumulation of single‐cross parents. Similar correlations for phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and zinc were not significant.
