GENETIC VARIABILITY FOR YIELD AND YIELD RELATED CHARACTERS IN EARLY TO MEDIAM MATURING YELLOW MAIZE (Zea may s L.) AT CHIRO, ETHIOPIA.

Abstract:

Twenty five maize (Zea mays L) genotypes were evaluated in randomized complete block design for genetic variability and association between agronomic traits at Haramaya University at Chiro campus. Data were collected on 20 quantitative traits. The analysis of variance showed that the mean squares due to genotype were highly significant (p
