Genetic analysis of flowering times and physiological maturity traits by analyzing the generation mean analysis of four maize hybrids and calculating the hybrid vigor and the of hetrosis percentage (field traits)

Abstract

A field experiment was carried out at the Field Crops Research Station, College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University of Baghdad - Al-Jadriyah to estimate the averages of the six generations, the hybrid vigor, and the hetrosis percentage that control the inheritance of the field traits of the selected inbred lines and their resulting hybrids using Generation Mean Analysis.
