Abstract

Impact of half-sib family recurrent selection on grain yield in maize population ZM-309

Highlights

  • Data were recorded on days to mid tasseling, plant height, ear height, ear length, grains rows per ear, hundred kernels weight and grain yield

  • After the completion of this experiment, it was deduced that enhancement in grain yield through half-sib family recurrent selection is useful and maize population ZM-309 can be exploited for further betterment through half-sib family recurrent selection

  • From the findings of this experiment it was deduced that half-sib family recurrent selection in maize is an effective method and maize population ZM-309 has the potential to be used in future breeding programs
