Abstract

Evaluation of cobs-to-row progenies raised from previously selected 800 progenies for their early vigour at 30 DAS and grain yield and its components at maturity indicated the presence of high degree of variation for leaf area and leaf width compared to seedling girth and seedling height. Further median and mode values of traits related to early vigour exhibited negative skewed distribution with a platykurtic pattern indicating greater scope of selection among the progenies for improving early vigour. Among the traits studied at the time of maturity cob weight, pith weight, number of kernels per cob and grain yield per plant showed high coefficient of variability. Plant height and shelling percentage exhibited very low coefficient of variation.
