Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Low pH reduced mean grain yield by 11 to 37% across environments.
- Observation Additive gene action was more important than nonadditive gene action for yield in both soil conditions.
- Observation Tester GCA effects for yield exceeded line GCA and cross SCA effects in both soils.
- Association Crosses with desirable SCA effects for yield had high per se grain yield.
- Observation The crosses included good by good and good by poor general combiners.
- Recommendation The authors recommend yield selection in progenies and hybridization of crosses with desirable SCA.
