Significant (P 0.05) differences were recorded between the hybrids and local check with regard to days to Anthesis and days to Silking where Sammaz 34 and local varieties recorded longer days to attain 50% silking than Sammaz 17 and 14 this may be due to Sammaz 34 and local check are late and adopted varieties respectively but there were no significant differences on anthesis to silking interval and the number of barren plants among the varieties. Also, significant differences were recorded between the hybrids with regard to days to attain 50% maturity where local variety and Sammaz 17 recorded longer periods of days to attain days to 50% maturity and for plants, the result revealed that all the varieties under study were statistically similar throughout the sampling period, however, significant differences were recorded between the hybrids and a check for total yield where SAMMAZ-34 Late maturing variety recorded the highest yield (3.40 kg/ha) and Local is adopted variety recorded the least yield (1.9 kg/ha), but there were no significant differences amongst varieties for days to emergence, biomass yield. Sammaz-34 was recorded as the promising variety for ear diameter and grain weight recorded as characters that had a direct bearing on yield in maize....Preview Download Preview +Other Crop Science project topics and materials you might be interested in»Effect of NPK fertilizer and intra-row spacing on growth and yield of Sesame (Sesamumindicum l.) in Sokoto Sudan Savanna, Nigeria»Studies of yield and yield related traits in some hybrids of maize (Zea Mays L.) genotypes
