CONCLUSION
FDM 14 and FDM 37 were the best among the 7
parents as it showed desirable mean and GCA
effects for most of yield and its contributing
traits and yield and quality traits respectively.
Therefore these parents could be used
extensively in hybrid breeding program with a
view to increase baby corn yield with quality.
Furthermore, based on mean and SCA effects 2
hybrids FDM 37 x FDM 14 and FDM 7 x FDM
14 were proved to be the best to increase the
baby corn yield with better quality. For varietal
improvement, these crosses could also be
utilized for exploiting promising recombinants
and it could be useful towards enhancing baby
corn yield and quality.
