Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation Heritability estimate for striga emergence count was 94.0%.
- Observation Heritability estimate for striga syndrome rating was 40.0%.
- Observation Heritability estimate for tolerance index was 13.0%.
- Observation Heritability estimate for days to tasseling was 11.32%.
- Observation Heritability estimate for days silking was 16.0%.
- Observation Heritability estimate for kernel rows per cob was 5.70%.
- Observation Heritability estimate for grain yield was 16.22%.
- Association Genotypic correlations of striga emergence count with maize agronomic traits were positive and significant.
- Association Phenotypic correlations of striga count with other maize agronomic traits were positive and significant.
- Association Striga count was negatively correlated with striga syndrome rating.
- Observation Maize ear aspect alone contributed 19.4% to grain yield.
- Association Most striga and maize agronomic traits were positively associated with grain yield under striga infestation, except plant and ear heights.
- Recommendation Genotypic and phenotypic correlations and heritability estimates are suitable models for selecting S. lutea tolerant maize genotypes.
