Description
Summary:The physical quality characteristics of test weight, 1000-kernel weight, percent floaters, Stenvert Hardness Index, kernel size (dimensions), water absorption index of grain and starch and chemical properties (protein, fat, ash, crude fiber, total sugars, starch, amylose, and amylopectin) were determined on twenty-five improved, tropical, open-pollinated maize cultivars.
