ND284
Inbred ND284 was derived from synthetic NDSM, a new breeding population developed at NDSU. This inbred was tested in 8 hybrid combinations across 6 locations in 1996. Due to a lack of data needed for PVPA application in 1997, it was not released until 1998. ND284 showed significantly better general combining ability for (1) low harvest moisture than ND269, ND301 and ND281; (2) grain yield than ND275 and ND282; (3) stalk lodging resistance than ND301 and (4) performance index than ND282, ND269, ND281 and ND275.
