This study was carried out with the objective of estimating the genetic parameters of agronomic traits in Panicum maximum hybrids. Genotypes obtained from the crosses between the sexual plants S10 and S12 and cultivars Tanzania and Mombasa were evaluated. The design was an incomplete blocks design with two replicates (clones) and 33 blocks. Each block was constituted by three lines or plots with nine plants each, which were evaluated in six harvests. All the characters presented low broad sense heritabilities […]

O experimento foi realizado para avaliar as características morfogênicas de milheto (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br.) sob lotação rotacionada com três períodos de descanso, correspondentes aos tempo necessário para expansão de 1,5 a 2 folhas; de 2,5 a 3 folhas; e de 3,5 a 4 folhas. As características morfogênicas avaliadas em quatro repetições de área (piquetes) foram alongamento de lâminas foliares, senescência de lâminas foliares, alongamento de colmos, aparecimento de folhas, filocrono e duração de vida das folhas. As taxas de […]
