Indices estimated using REML/BLUP and introduction of a super-trait for the selection of progenies in popcorn

Selection indices commonly utilize economic weights, which become arbitrary genetic gains. In popcorn, this is even more evident due to the negative correlation between the main characteristics of economic importance - grain yield and popping expansion. As an option in the use of classical biometrics as a selection index, the optimal procedure restricted maximum lik.. Read More»

    N.C.S. Crubelati-Mulati, C.A. Scapim, F.A. Albuquerque, A.T. Amaral Junior, M. Vivas and M.A. Rodovalho

The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, is the pest that causes the greatest economic losses for both common corn and popcorn crops, and the use of resistant plant genotypes is an important tool for integrated pest management. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the damage caused by S. frugiperda on single-cross popcorn hybrids under field conditions with natural i.. Read More»
