Estimation of Correlation and Path coefficient for hybrids of maize(Zea mays) under conditions industrial infection by large corn stem borer Sesamia cretica


Abstract in English

It was evaluated the susceptibility of 6 lines of maize, and fifteen maize crosses, against by large corn stem borer, Sesamia cretica Led under conditions Industrial infection. A study of the correlation coefficient showed linear relationship of yields by 100- Kernel weight.
