LG Comp 1 91 Corn: Yield, Maturity and Characteristics
LG Comp 1 91 corn is a yellow open pollinated corn variety. It was registered with the National Seed Industry Council in 1994 as NSIC 1994 Cn 50. Its record notes 5.83 tonnes per hectare on average in the trials.
The average and top yields in tonnes per hectare come from the trials each variety went through to be registered with the NSIC, and from what the seed companies say about their own seed.
