Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Dominance variance estimates were not significant except grain yield in one environment.
- Observation Grain yield dominance variance was significant in one environment.
- Recommendation Mass selection appeared most effective for increasing oil percentage.
- Recommendation Recurrent selection for general combining ability appeared most effective for grain and oil yield.
- Association Only silking date and oil yield were significantly correlated with oil percentage.
- Method / resource A selection index appeared to offer little advantage over selection for oil yield alone.
