Initial Trial Test of Potential Yield on 22 New Lines of Maize (Zea mays. L)

Corn (Zea mays L.) is an important food ingredient as one of the second carbohydrate producers after rice in Indonesia. The use corn plant not only limited to seeds, but other parts can also be used. To increase national maize production, intensification methods applied. One activities realized by selecting planting materials obtained from crossing. superior hybrid seeds intensive development and breeding activities. purpose this study was determine yield potential characteristics new lines on being tested. research conducted January 2019 May experimental plot owned PT. BISI International Tbk. Sambirejo Village, Bendo District, Kediri Regency. design used experiment a randomized block with 2 replications. number treatments consisted 25 22 collected 3 comparison varieties such 18, NK6172 P35. Observational variables observed included height (cm), vigor, flowering age male plants (DAS), female harvest ear length moisture content (%), (tonnes / ha), seed rows per ear, row, diameter percentage filling weight 1000 (g) density (g ml). prospective candidates that have higher components than are H6 H11. hopeful candidate excels outcome observation data.
