Abstract

Three promising hybrids and College Yellow Flint were compared in an advanced test. The hybrid (A103 x A107) (A111 x A113) proved to be suitable for use in corn grain production. Although (I17 x I18) (A111 x A113) had the highest stover yield, it proved to be relatively more susceptible to the downy mildew disease (Sclerospors philippiniensis Weston) than (A103 x A107) (A111 x A113) and (I91 x A112) (A102 x A103).

The 4 x 4 Latin square design was superior to the simple randomized complete block design, on the average, in comparing entries with respect to grain yield and stover yield.
