History of hybrid corn seed history

Hybrid corn or hybrid corns are modified varieties of common corn (Zea mays). Hybrid corn came into being through the history of science in the 1930s. In this decade, scientists and engineers were interested in combining two types of corn subspecies in order to improve the performance of this plant. One of the problems related to ordinary corn is its hardiness and lack of resistance to diseases and pests induced by soil and weather problems. By combining two different genetics of corn (both in terms of genetics and appearance), the produced children not only experience resistance to diseases and pests, but also improve the performance and life of this plant. Today, hybrid corn is used as one of the important products in the agricultural industry in many countries. This plant has been favored by farmers due to its ability to better tolerate different climatic conditions and high yield.
