An equation was developed to predict corn breakage susceptibility based on the protein content, oil content, starch content, kernel density, and test weight. Reference values of breakage susceptibility were measured by Wisconsin Breakage Tester. Two statistical techniques were used to design the prediction equation, multiple linear regression (MLR) and principal factor method (PFM).
