Performance of full sibs and their open-pollinated progenies in two varieties of maize

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate whether the yielding ability of maize can be improved by bulking superior full sibs and/or their open-pollinated progenies. The results indicated that bulking of superior full sibs yielded 14.4% more in Local Flint and 11.9% in Metro. However, when bulking...
