Estimates of general combining ability
for various traits have been presented in Table 3.
The estimates of GCA effects exhibited that the
parent FDM 14 was the best general combiners
for most studied characters i.e. days to tasseling,
plant height, number of leaves per plant, baby
corn length, baby corn weight and baby corn
yield per plot and parent FDM 37 exhibited
desirable GCA effects for plant height, number
of baby corns per plant, baby corn yield per plot,
total sugars and reducing sugars.
