Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Yield of Eto and Tuxpeño synthetics with 6 to 12 lines and of 3-line Tuxpeño synthetics was similar (5.8 to 6.3 t/ha).
- Observation Parent heterosis of intersynthetic hybrids ranged from 11.1 to 29.6%.
- Intervention effect Crosses among synthetics with fewer lines usually gave higher heterosis than crosses involving more than 3 lines.
- Recommendation Intersynthetic hybrids formed from 6 to 9 lines seem more appealing given heterosis above 20%.
- Recommendation Intersynthetic hybrids are an attractive option for national maize programs starting hybrid projects.
