Índices de seleção para várias características agronômicas num composto de milho (Zea mays L.)
Palabras clave:
índice de seleção, ganho genético desejado, características agronômicas, variância genética aditiva, melhoramento de milhoResumen
Measurements of several agronomic traits in corn (Zea mays L.) were obtained from 156 progenies produced using Comstock and Robinson’s design I mating system, where 39 plants used as males were each crossed with four different plants used as females. The basic population was «Dent Composite B».
