Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Maize hybrids varied highly in grain yield and most measured traits.
- Observation Grain yield, ear weight and grain weight per ear showed high heterosis.
- Observation Ear diameter, kernel row counts, kernels per row and 100-grain weight showed moderate heterosis.
- Observation Hybrids flowered and matured earlier than their inbred parents.
- Observation Broad-sense heritability varied across characters.
