Corn seed is genetically developed to grow better in different regions of the world. The longer the plants can stay in the field growing, the higher the yields will be. Corn grown in southern climates can stay in the fields longer than corn that is grown in the northeast. The length of time it takes for a corn plant to reach maturity is called relative maturity (RM). Relative maturity is measured in days.To choose a corn variety that will produce the greatest yield, you want to choose one with an RM that matches the length of growing season in your region.
Ex. If the RM of the corn variety that you've planted is 95 and you planted on May 15th, when will your estimated harvest day be?
Answer: August 18th
