Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Nonadditive gene action predominated for grain yield, ear diameter and 1000-kernel weight.
- Association Additive and nonadditive genes were equally important for ear length, kernel rows per ear and kernels per row.
- Association GCA by environment mattered more than SCA by environment for ear length and diameter.
- Association Only SCA by environment was important for kernel rows per ear and 1000-kernel weight.
- Association Genotype by environment interaction was unimportant for grain yield and kernels per row.
- Observation Crosses P2 x P8 and P4 x P7 showed significant positive specific combining ability for yield traits.
