Study of quantitative traits related to grain yield stability in maize using multivariate statistical methods and graphical analysis
This paper was conducted to study the quantitative traits related to grain yield and to investigate the relationship between different traits and to select the most important quantitative traits affecting grain yield in maize hybrids.
The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications in the two cropping years of 2017-2018 in Shiraz region. sampling and taking notes were performed from the two middle rows.
Based on the combined analysis of variance at the probability level of 0.01, all hybrids had a significant difference. Also, the effect of hybrid year was significant in all traits except ear diameter. Based on the comparison of the mean performed by Duncan method, two genotypes KSC704 and KSC707 were identified as hybrids with superior rank. Based on the correlation analysis, grain yield had a positive and significant correlation with grain width and 1000-grain weight. Also, the results of the correlation diagram showed a positive and significant correlation between grain yield and grain length, 1000-seed weight, plant height, ear length and number of rows per ear. The drawn polygon diagram also showed that KSC705 genotype is more desirable than other genotypes. Based on the ranking chart of genotypes based on the ideal genotype, SC647 hybrid was identified as a hybrid with better desirability.
Conclusion :
Based on the studied traits, KSC704 and KSC705 genotypes were identified as better ranked hybrids and SC301 and SC302 genotypes were identified as unfavorable genotypes.
