Analysis of the nitrogen and magnesium doses effects of two cultivars of maize (Zea mays L.) using multivariate method

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a multivariable research regarding the evaluation of variability of selected quantitative traits in two cultivars of maize (Zea mays L.): ES Palazzo and ES Paroli after using doses of nitrogen and magnesium. The study took into account 12 traits recorded for three years (2009-2011). The statistical analysis of obtained results was conducted using multivariable methods: multivariate analysis of variance, canonical variable analysis and Mahalanobis distances. The most varied objects were A4B1C2 and A1B2C1 (in 2009), A4B1C1 and A2B2C2 (in 2010), A4B2C1 and A1B2C2 (in 2011) and A4B2C1 and A1B2C2 (for all three years). The most similar objects (with regard to the 12 traits analyzed together) were A4B2C2 and A3B2C2 (in 2009), A4B2C2 and A3B1C2 (in 2010), A2B2C2 and A2B1C2 (in 2011) and A4B2C2 and A3B2C2 (for all three years). The Mahalanobis distances between particular objects in particular years of observations were positive and statistically significantly correlated.
