Analysis of variance in augmented block design and Scott-Knott’s test in hybrid corn selection studies

Abstract The objective of this work was to present a methodological alternative for studies the characterization and selection corn (Zea mays) genotypes, through joint analysis variance an augmented block design, using Scott-Knott’s test, hybrids selected from adopted strategy, show its efficiency. For application methodology, case study used: superior Brazilian Cerrado. In four locations, 70 experimental were evaluated in design without replicates, with three controls replicated once each block. groups applied followed by genotype classifications multiple comparison is viable low number replicates large genotypes. Based on tested following are grain yield: HT007, HT008, HT018, HT004, HT024, HT005, HT071.
