He conducted investigations, which demonstrated that protein quality of maize was genetically modifiable.In summary, few people in the history of agriculture have had such a profound impact on the improvement of a major crop as has Professor Sprague.The Prize Committee for Agriculture of the Wolf Foundation has unanimously chosen two scientists to share equally the Wolf Prize in Agriculture : George F. Sprague and John C. Walker“for his outstanding research on the genetic amelioration of maize for human welfare.”Professor Sprague (a geneticist – plant breeder) and Professor Walker (a plant pathologist -plant breeder) have achieved world eminence in the development of improved crop plants to the extent of greatly stabilizing the culture, increasing yields, and improving the quality of a number of major vegetable crops, and of maize – one of the world´s dominant grain crops.

Among his most fruitful basic studies was the development of a mathematical genetic model for selection that led to the development of an improved gene pool of maize germ plasm. Both have most enviable records of having trained scientific manpower for agriculture´s needs.

Both have been towering figures in contributing to both applied and basic research. A fact, which holds great promise to maize-eating nations. Both have most enviable records of having trained scientific manpower for agriculture´s needs. Students of each are to be found throughout the world, many of them having established themselves as distinguished researchers, educators and/or administrators. Both have been towering figures in contributing to both applied and basic research. The Prize is sometimes considered the equivalent of a "Nobel Prize in Agriculture". Each has developed novel and efficient methodology of breeding techniques and procedures.
