- Observation Differences in field emergence characteristics among seed maturity stages were negligible.
- Association Maturity of seed planted affected kernel size.
- Association Maturity of seed planted affected grain yield of the resultant crop.
- Association Seedling growth traits, interval between flowering stages and morphological traits were among the traits most affected by seed ageing.
- Association Number of harvestable ears and grain yield were among the traits most affected by seed ageing.
- Association Laboratory test results correlated well with field performance of maize.
- Recommendation Laboratory tests are recommended as good indicators of seed quality for planting purposes in tropical locations.
