Genetic variability, heritability, and correlation of hybrids maize agronomy characters adaptive to dry land, medium plains

Abstract The selection of hybrid maize plants that adapt to dry land in the medium plains is very important considering widely available such Indonesia, so existence adaptive varieties needed. Information on agronomic characters basic information for character make breeding program more effective. study aims determine genetic variability, heritability, and correlation tested plains. material used 22 hybrids, arranged randomized block design with 3 replications. experiment was carried out Polewali Mandar Regency, West Sulawesi from June September 2021. results showed were strongly influenced by environment ear position height, stem diameter, male female flowering time, shelling percentage. percentage can be advanced generations. had significantly positively correlated yield plant leaf width, harvested weight, weight 1000 kernels, while negatively kernel moisture content.
