Genetic Variability And Predicted Responses To Selfed Progeny Selection In Three Maize (Zea Mays L.) Populations For Tolerance To Low Soil Nitrogen
📄 Project Abstract
Low soil nitrogen is a major constraint to maize production in the West African savanna. The development of maize cultivars with better performance under low soil nitrogen level is of great significance. In this study, S1 (Selfed) progeny recurrent selection method was employed to improve three different maize populations (DMR ESR-W, TZE COMP. 3DT and ACR 9331 DMRSR) for tolerance to low soil nitrogen. S1 progenies were generated from each of the three maize populations and evaluated under both low and high soil nitrogen levels in Mokwa (918N and 504E, 457m above sea level, 1100mm annual rainfall) and Zaria (916N and 720E, 686m above sea level, 1040mm annual rainfall) during the rainy season of 2011. Analysis of variance for grain yield and other agronomic traits evaluated under both fertility levels across the two locations showed significant differences (p0.05) among the S1 progenies. These indicate the presence of wide genetic variability amongst the genotypes. Genotypic variances w...
