Abstract Identification of grain yields on stable and high yielding maize hybrids in a wide environment requires high accuracy. There were many stability measurement methods used in multi-environment experiments. However, the relationship between each measurement was still difficult to understand. The objectives of this study were to: 1. identified the effect of growing season, location, hybrids (genotypes), and their interactions (GEIs) on grain yields; 2. determined the relationship between each stability measurement; 3. selected the stable and high yielding maize hybrids in a wide environment; and 4. determined favorable (discriminativeness) locations for testing. The field experiment was conducted at eight locations in Java island, Indonesia during two seasons used a randomized completed block design with three replications. The experimental results showed that the main effects of growing season, location, hybrid, and GEIs, had a significant effect on maize hybrid yields. Stability measurements S(3), S(6), NP(2), NP(3), NP(4), and CVi, belong to the concept of dynamic stability that can be used to selected maize hybrids in favorable environments, while other measurements were classified as in the concept of static stability. Two maize hybrids were successfully selected to have high and stable yields based on numerical and visual measurements, namely SC3 and SC9. The two hybrids can be used as candidates for a sustainable maize development program. GJRS and KARS were the most discriminativeness environments. Both can be used as a favorable environment for selecting the ideal maize hybrid.

The aim of the present study was to observe the response of maize hybrids under rainfed and irrigation conditions of the soil in order to establish the dependence of yielding potential on the water amounts reaching the soil surface during the growing season. The four-replicate trail was set up according to the randomised complete-block design on chernozem. Pre-watering soil moisture was approximately 70% of field water capacity, and soil moisture was established thermogravimetrically. During the five-year studies, the following differences in yields could be as follows: 12.68 t ha-1 (ZP 341); 12.76 t ha-1 (ZP 434); 13.17 t ha-1 (ZP 578); 14.03 t ha-1 (ZP 684) and 13.75 t ha-1 (ZP 704) under conditions of 440 mm, 440 mm, 424 mm, 457 mm and 466 mm of water, respectively. The hybrid ZP 341, i.e. ZP 578 expressed the highest, i.e. the lowest tolerance in dry relative seasons, respectively. The reduction of the water amount for every 10 mm decreased the yield by 119.4 kg ha-1 (ZP 341), 156.7 kg ha-1 (ZP 434), 172.3 kg ha-1 (ZP 578), 148.9 kg ha-1 (ZP 684) and 151.1 kg ha-1 (ZP 704).

The Leafy (Lfy) genotype in corn has extra leaves above the ear in comparison to normal non-leafy genotypes and has been shown to increase yields in some geographical areas. In this study, carbohydrate distribution in three Lfy hybrids (two of which were "staygreen") and a normal check (Pioneer 3790) were analyzed in a short-season area (2800 Crop Heat Units, suitable for 85 day Relative Maturity hybrids). Total sugar and starch were determined at all aboveground levels of leaf and stem on 1 August 1990 and this distribution was used to calculate total canopy carbohydrates in two subsequent years from samplings of leaf and stem at only three or four canopy levels bracketing the ear level. Husk, cob and kernel components were also analyzed at three sampling times during grainfill. Major differences in the 2 yr were observed, but in general there was approximately twice the carbohydrate in the canopy at and above the ear in the Lfy genotypes compared to the check. There was also more carbohydrate in the husk and cob in the Lfy lines, but substantially less carbohydrate below the ear in these lines. Rates of grainfill were generally higher in the Lfy hybrids, but the rate of Lfy hybrid A, the early senescent hybrid, was slower in the cooler growing season. Despite the greater amount of carbohydrate in the Lfy hybrids in comparison to the traditional check, their grain yields were not greatly increased, indicating that the kernel component provided a weak sink. This characteristic is probably associated with the long season and tropical origin of the Lfy germplasm. Key words: Maize, grainfill, leafy, carbohydrate distribution, phenology, sink size

In order to evaluate the relationship between yield and some relevant traits and estimation of the most effective traits on grain yield, a split-plot experiment based on completely randomized block design with four replications was carried out in 2006-2007 in the research field of Islamic Azad University of Karaj. The irrigation schemes scheduled as main plots included the following: (T1) 40% moisture depletion throughout the growing season (control); (T2) 60% moisture depletion throughout the growing season; (T3) 80% moisture depletion throughout the growing season; (T4) no irrigation during the stem elongation stage and continuing with adequate irrigation to the end of the growing season; (T5) no irrigation from the stem elongation stage to the end of the growing season; (T6) no irrigation at flowering and continuing with adequate irrigation to the end of the growing season; (T7) no irrigation from flowering to the end of the growing season; and (T8) no irrigation from the milk stage to the end of the growing season; and 2 wheat cultivars [Marvdasht (V1), Chamran (V2)] as sub-plots. According to the results of simple correlation, the grain yield exhibited the most positive correlation with biomass (0.877), number of infertile spikelets (0.876) and harvest index (0.855). The results of step-wise regression showed that, in the absence of drought stress, biomass and harvest index had respectively the most important effects on the grain yield but both exhibited different results under drought stress. Path analysis results showed that the most important effect on the grain yield in the total tested treatments was related to the biomass, justifying a total of 87% of grain yield variations, 72% of which is the direct effect of this trait on grain yield.

Abstract Objectives A field experiment was conducted to evaluate Soil Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) value in different age and leaf of maize hybrid and correlating with grain yield. Ten maize hybrids were replicated thricely under Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) during winter of 2018. SPAD value was measured by SPAD 502 plus meter. At 30 days interval during vegetative stage SPAD measurement were taken from T1 (top most leaf) and T3 (2nd leaf from top leaf) leaves of five randomly selected plants from one plot and they were averaged. For reproductive phase data taken from eo (leaf attached to ear) and e2 (2nd leaf from eo leaf) leaves at 10 days intervals. Same leaves were used for entire data collection. Results Significantly different SPAD value was observed for different age and leaves of maize during pre and post anthesis. SPAD value increase with increase in age and decrease at the time of maturity. During vegetative phase T3 leaves has more SPAD value than T1. During reproductive stage eo leaves had more SPAD than e2 leaves, so center leaf of maize contributes more to grain yield. Correlation showed that there is strong positive correlation between different stage of SPAD with grain yield.

[PATH ANALYSIS OF GROWTH CHARACTERS AND YIELD COMPONENTS WITH THE YIELD OF 15 GENOTYPES OF MAIZE HYBRID].  Determination of traits used as the selection criteria are based on the trait(s) that have a close relationship to the yield.  The aims of this research were to measure the closeness of the relationship between morphological (growth and yield component) traits and crop yield, and to determine the trait that directly or indirectly affected on maize yield.  The research was conducted in Rimbo Kedui’s Village, South Seluma Subdistrict, Seluma District, Bengkulu Province on May 2017 to August 2017.  The experimental design used was a Complete Randomized Block Design (CRBD) in a single factor with 3 replications.  The treatments were 15 maize hybrid genotypes, consisting of CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, CT5, CT6, CT7, CT8, CT9, CT10, CT11, CT12, CT13, CT14, and CT15.  The data were statistically analyzed by analysis of varians (ANOVA) with P(a=5%).  The qualitative data were analyzed descriptively. The result of correlation analysis revealed that the yield of maize hybrids highly correlated to some growth and yield component factors.  High-yielding maize hybrids were supported by higher ear diameter, plant fresh weight, plant dry weight, plant height, the number of seeds per ear.  Plant dry weight became the variable that has the highest direct effect with positive correlation on the yield.  The second highest rank was the number of seeds per ear with also a positive correlation value.  Yield improvement of maize hybrid, therefore, can be obtained by fostering the plant total biomass and/or by multiplying the number of seeds per ear.

Several studies have shown that the success of interregional cooperation may be influenced by coordination, commitment, participation, variance of cooperation, structure, format of cooperation, and political will. Nevertheless, these factors do not stand alone since actor relations as a determining aspect is capable of driving those factors effectively. This article aims to examine the aspect of actor relations as a contributing factor that determines successful cooperation among regions. This is a qualitative research with the policy of inter-regional cooperation of the Banjarbakula Program, South Kalimantan Province from February 2017 to February 2018, set as its object of study. The result of this study states that the success of inter-regional cooperation is influenced by the relationship of actors in development factors as suggested by previous experts. The actors involved in the inter-regional cooperation examined in this case had become triggers of coordination, commitment, and participation toward success and failure, as well as the effectiveness of regional cooperation policy. Structural obstacles, ego-centric character, minimum budget availability, and non-visionary planning could be overcome as long as actor relations were properly managed.

The article presents the results of research on the formation of corn yield for grain depending on the elements of cultivation technology in the Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. The goal of the research was to identify the influence of plant density and fertilizer system on the yield of corn hybrids for grain. The research was conducted during 2017-2019 in the research field of Bila Tserkva National Agrarian University (Bila Tserkva NAU). Research methods: field, calculation and statistical. Results. Regularities of growth, development and formation of yield by plants are revealed, both in concrete conditions of years of researches, and taking into account average long-term values taking into account features of hybrid-oriented technology. According to the results of the experiment it was recorded that the maximum yields for growing early-maturing maize hybrid DN PIVYHA with FAO 180 in general were obtained at a pre-harvest density of 75 thousand units/ha and the use of combined organo-mineral fertilizer system - 11.09 t/ha; medium-early maize hybrid DN ORLYK, FAO 280 in general in the experiment provided a grain yield of 9.60 t/ha, and in terms of 2017 - 7.86 t/ha, in 2018 - 11.22 t/ha and in 2019 - 9, 72 t/ha, but the medium-ripe hybrid of corn DN SARMAT, FAO 380 provided a grain yield of 10.81 t/ha, and in the context of 2017 - 9.31 t/ha, in 2018 - 11.68 t/ha and in 2019 - 11.44 t/ha. Significant influence on the formation of the yield of corn has a hybrid factor (27 %), fertilizer system determines the level of productivity by 21 % and interacts closely with the conditions of the growing season (factor BV 9 %), growing season conditions also determine the level of productivity of corn plants (19 %), and the pre-harvest density determines this feature by 18 %. Conclusions: In the conditions of the Right Bank part of the Forest-Steppe of Ukraine there is an increase in the level of productivity of maize hybrids from early to medium-ripe hybrids, regardless of the influence of other experimental factors.
