GENETIC VARIABILITY AMONG 51 FAMILIES FOR OGI YIELD IN MAIZE (ZEA MAYS L.)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Variability among Sl families, derived from an unimproved landrace (BC 63) of maize (Zea mays L.) was evaluated for ogi (a fermented cereal porridge made from maize) yield and kernel weight. Significant inter family variations wereobserved for both traits. Broadsense heritability estimates were substantially high as 55.4 and 52.00/. for ogi yield and kernel weight, respectively. Genetic gains at30% selection pressure forogi yield and kernel weight were estimated to be 6.1 and 7.2%, respectively.
