Heterotic effects and association of <i>Chilo partellus</i>(swinhoe) resistance parameters with mature plant traits in some maize populations
No full textStem borer resistance and grain yield are known to be quantitatively
inherited, but it is not known whether the heterotic levels observed
for resistance are translated directly to grain yield production.
Results of correlations between vigour associated with resistance and
that of mature plant traits suggest that, although most of the crosses
had lower damage levels and increased grain yield, the vigour
associated with resistance traits may not actually predict the amount
of grain yield gain obtained in the set of maize genotypes studied
