Genetic parameters for some yellow maize inbred lines for grain yield and some other traits using line X tester analysis under sandy soil conditions [electronic resource].

Includes reference.

Eighteen yellow maize inbred lines derived from composite-21 at Gemmeiza Agricultural Research Station were topcrossed with two testers; i.e. Gm-1002 and Gm-1021 during 2004 summer season. in the two commercial hybrid checks; SC-155 and SC-3084 were evaluated at Ismailia Agricultural Research Station under sprinkler irrigation system and sandy soil conditions. Differences significantly were detected among years for alltraits except no. of kernels/row. mean squares due to crosses (C) and their partitioning; Lines (L), Testers (T) and line x Tester (L x T) were found to be significant and highly significant for all traits except (L) for grain yield and no. of kernels/row, (T) for ear diameter, no. of rows/ear and 100 kernels weight and (L x T) for grain yield and 100 kernels weight.
