Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Maize genotypes differed significantly for most traits, with stated exceptions.
- Observation PR-2 had high yield under vegetative-stage drought.
- Observation Z-2 had high yield under reproductive-stage drought.
- Observation M-45 had considerably high yield under drought at both stages.
- Intervention effect Drought significantly affected days to 25% silking, plant height and grain yield at Wad Medani.
- Observation Plant height had high genotypic coefficient of variation, heritability and genetic advance.
- Association Grain yield correlated significantly and positively with plant height, stem diameter, leaf area index and leaves per plant.
- Association Grain yield was significantly negatively associated with days to 50% and 95% silking.
- Recommendation M-45 could be used to improve drought tolerance in maize.
- Recommendation Plant height, stem diameter and leaves per plant were recommended as selection criteria for maize improvement.
