introduction corn (zea mays l.) is the third most important cereal crop in the world after wheat and rice (lashkari et al., 2011). corn production has been extended in to the whole world during the course of the last century due to its compatibility. it has more diversity compare to other cereal. many corn types are cultivated, including field corn, ornamental corn, popcorn, sweet corn and seve...

Combining ability effects were estimated for different agronomic characters in line × tester crossing program comprising 21 hybrids produced by crossing 7 lines and 3 testers. Parents and hybrids differed significantly for general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) effects, respectively. The variance due to GCA and SCA showed that gene action was predominantly additive...

According to urgent need of corn to nitrogen and since this element play a main role in improving of yield corn, thus, in order to investigate the effect of different levels of urea on yield and yield components of corn 704, an experiment was conducted randomized block with three replications in cropping year of 2012. Experimental treatments included six levels of urea (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 1...

in this research, the effects of split application of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and yield component of three varieties of corn have been investigated. for this purpose, a split plot experiment on the base of randomized complete blocks in four replications was used. the main plots were three varieties of corn (370, 447 and 499), and sub plots were six split application of urea fertilizer trea...

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. In this study, 13 agronomic traits of a recombinant inbred line population that was derived from the cross between Mo17 and Huangzao4 were investigated in maize: ear diameter, ear length, ear axis diameter, ear weight, plant height, ear height, days to pollen shed (DPS), days to silking (DS), the interval between DPS and DS, 1...

MAIZE EAR FASCIATION Knowledge of the genes affecting maize ear inflorescence may lead to better grain yield modeling. Maize ear fasciation, defined as abnormal flattened ears with high kernel row number, is a quantitative trait widely present in Portuguese maize landraces. MATERIAL AND METHODS Using a segregating population derived from an ear fasciation contrasting cross (consisting of 149 ...

In order to evaluation effect of different level of humic acid affected drought stress on seed yield, its components and morphological traits of corn a research farm was conducted according split plot experiment based randomized complete blocks design at three replication during 2015 year. Main factor included four irrigation regimes (90mm, 110 mm, 130 mm and 150mm evaporation from pan class A)...
