Estimating Magnitude of Standard Heterosis in Mid-altitude Maize (Zea mays L.) Hybrids for Grain Yield and Yield Related Traits at Haro Sabu, West Oromia, Ethiopia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heterosis is the groundwork for developing a good economically viable hybrid maize variety. Evaluation of Maize test crosses was carried out during 2019 main cropping season at research field Haro Sabu Agricultural Research Center West Oromia, Ethiopia. The objective study to identify direction and magnitude standard heterosis in mid-land hybrids grain yield attributing agronomic traits. Seventy-two three checks were tested using 5x15 alpha-lattice (0, 1) design with two replications. analysis variance exhibited highly significant (p

Estimation of heterosis for grain yield components in Maize (Zea mays L.)
Heterosis plays an important role in achieving improvement in crop production. About 69 F 1 hybrids obtained by crossing twenty three lines and three testers in a line × tester fashion were used to derive the information on degree of heterosis over mid, better and standard parent in maize. Sixty nine crosses and their parents including one check CoH(M)5 were evaluated in a Randomized Block Desi...
متن کاملGrain yield stability of single cross maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids over three different environments
An investigation was conducted to determine the grain yield performance of seventy two single cross maize hybrids, their nine parents and one commercial check across three seasons (Summer, Kharif and Rabi) of the year 2006 at the Department of Millets, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. The design lay out was a randomized blocks design with three replications. The additive main eff...
متن کاملGenetic improvement of Grain Yield by Determination of Selection Index in Single Cross Hybrids of Maize (Zea mays L.)
Selection based on proper selection indices can be one of the most effective methods for indirect selection of yield and yield components, simultaneously. In order to determination of selection index for improvement of maize yield, 60 single cross maize hybrids were planted in two separate experiments (drought stress and normal conditions) based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with t...
متن کاملAllozyme Frequency Changes Associated with Selection for Increased Grain Yield in Maize (ZEA MAYS L.).
Frequency changes of alleles at eight enzyme loci were monitored in four long-term maize selection experiments. The results indicate that changes in frequencies of the alleles at these loci are associated with changes due to selection for improved grain yield. The frequencies changed more than is consistent with the hypothesis of selective neutrality. In addition, significant deviations from a ...
متن کاملGenetic Analysis for Yield Potential and Quality Traits in Maize (Zea mays L.)
Abstract: Grain yield is a complex phenomenon which results from the interaction of various contributing factors highly influenced by environmental variation. Phenotypic selection cannot directly improve the characters in heterozygous crops like maize unless dissected by genetic analysis. Gene action for various quantitative and qualitative traits was explored in a complete set of diallel invol...
