Abstract

The material used in the study consisted of 80 F1 hybrids obtained by crossing 20 flint lines with 2 dent testers and 20 dent lines with 2 flint testers. Field trials were conducted at the breeding stations at Kobierzyce and Smolice. Incomplete block design was used. The following characters were analysed statistically: pollen shed, silking, ear length, no. of rows/ear, no. of kernels/row, no. of kernels/ear, ear weight, cob weight, % dry matter and weight of grain/ear. In order to evaluate simultaneously 10 characters of lines and hybrids, two indices of genetic crossing potential (Yi, Yij) were computed. Positive relationship was found between the indices, which gave similar rankings of the lines. High correlations were observed between no. of kernels/ear, no. of rows/ear, ear weight and Yi index. The SCA index (Yij) indicated the following pairs of lines: K 324 × K 194, S 4-4s × S 50668-4, S 43047 × S 50668-4 and S 56028A × S 50668-4 as potentially most heterotic. It was concluded from the studies that multidimensional genetic indices of crossing potential can be useful in selection in respect of general and specific combining ability.
