After this the gross weight decreased by over 4,000 lbs., due to drying out as the crop matured. The dry matter, however, continued to increase rapidly until the plants were fully ripe. Indeed, in less than a month follow- ing Aug. 28 the acre of corn stored over 3,500 lbs. of dry matter! When four feet high the crop was nearly 86 per ct. water and only 14 per et. dry matter; while when the kernels were hard and the husks dry over 42 per ct. was dry matter. The mineral matter, or ash, increased rapidly until the plants reached their full height. â CRUDE PROTON I FIBER :..: NITROGEN-FREE EXTRACT FAT. Fig. 6.âNutrients in Corn Plants at Various Stages The shaded areas in the legend represent the amount of crude protein, fiber, nitrogen-free extract, and fat in corn plants at various stages. (From In- diana Station.) The most rapid increase in crude protein, the nitrogenous portion, occurred in the period before the plants were tasseled, when cell growth was most active, but some increase occurred until the plants reached maturity. Altho amidsâthe building-stones of the proteinsâ were constantly being formed during the development of the plants, they were in turn quickly built over into the more complex, stable proteins. Hence it was found in further studies that the amount of amids did not increase after the plants were silked, while there was a steady storage of true protein up to Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Henry, W.
