Uji Daya Hasil Pendahuluan Kandidat Jagung Hibrida Madura

Abstract

Preliminary yield trials was conducted to determine yield potential of candidates variety compared to other varieties. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the character of three Madura hybrid maize candidates compared to 46 other genotypes tested. This research was conducted in Blega, Bangkalan District, Madura, from August to November 2017. The plant material used in this study were three Madura hybrid maize candidates (G 1 = MDR-3, G 2 = MDR-4, G 3 = MDR-5) and 46 maize genotypes (entries) as a comparison. This research used a Simple Lattice Design (7x7x2). Data were analyzed by F-test, then continued with Duncan's test (α=5%). The results showed that several plant characters from the 49 genotypes tested had significant differences except the characters weighing 100 seeds. Madura hybrid maize candidates (G 1 , G 2 and G 3) were very suitable to be developed in Madura because they had early maturity (84 days to 85 days) and high productivity (6.7 tons per hectare to 8.2 tons per hectare).
