COMBINING ABILITY FOR GRAIN YIELD AND OTHER AGRONOMIC CHARACTERS IN INBRED LINES OF MAIZE (ZEA MAYS L.)

Published on Jul 07, 2018 10:55 AM

Combining ability analysis was done using 15 Fl hybrids and their parents obtained
from a diallel mating for grain yield, plant height and ear length, days to maturity
and 1000 kernel weight. Both general combining ability and specific combining ability
effects were significant for all traits. Crosses x year iritera~tion was highly significant
for plant height "and days to maturity. GCA x year mteractjon was highly significant
for grain yield, plant height and days to maturity. SCA x year interaction was significant
only for days to maturity.
