Abstract:The selection of inbred lines by combining abilities is an essential step for developing maize hybrids under abiotic stress. This research aimed to estimate the combining ability and heterosis of tropical maize under acidic soil conditions. Six inbred parental lines were crossed using the incomplete half-diallel mating design method Griffing II and evaluated using an augmented RCBD with three blocks and six hybrid checks replicated across blocks. The results revealed that combining ability variances affect all… Show more
