Journal Title: Journal of Research and Applications in Agricultural Engineering (ISSN 1642-686X) - Year 2019, Vol 64, Issue 3
Abstract
The study comprised of 13 maize cultivars, evaluated at two years in a randomized complete block design, with four replicates. To assess the quantitative impact of individual traits on the grain yield the multiple regression analysis was used. We observed grain yield and seven quantitative traits: SPAD, length of ears, number of kernels in row, damage of maize caused by P. nubilalis, infection of maize by Fusarium spp., number of ears and content of chlorophyll a.
