Assessment of reliability of secondary traits in selecting for improved grain yield in drought and lownitrogen environments
Grain yield of maize (Zea mays L.) has low heritability under low soil nitrogen (low N) and drought, necessitating the use of secondary traits with strong associations with yield forselection. A base index involving anthesis– silking interval, plant and ear aspects, earsper plant, and stay green cha...
