Abstract in English
The experiment was carried out at two planting dates in a Randomized
Complete Blocks Design with three replications at Maize Research Department,
General Commission for Scientific Agriculture Researches (G.C.S.A.R.)
Damascus, Syria, during two cropping season 2011 and 2012 to study the
phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation, heritability, genetic advance,
phenotypic correlation and path coefficient analysis for grain yield per plant,
its components and the height of plant and ear of two maize hybrids (IL.292-06
× IL.565-06, IL.459-06 × IL.362-06).
