Evaluación agronómica de dos híbridos de maíz (Zea mays L.) en condición de siembras comerciales, en la granja experimental “Limoncito”, en época lluviosa.

Abstract

An agronomic evaluation of two types of hybrid maize varieties. This research was carried out on the Farm of the Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil in ¨Limoncito¨. Two hybrids were studied: TRUENO and DK 7088. We used two methods, the analytical and experimental paradigm to establish this data were made several measurements of plants. The height of the plants, the height of the flower, the height of the corn cobs, their diameter, number of rows, the quantities and the weigh t of the grains taking as average 100 units, corn cob weight, empty and full. Based on these studies were seen in the results obtained in the two variables, no significant differences were found in corn cob insertion heights, plant heights at the end of flowers. In row by ear corn, by weight by corn cob, the hybrid TRUENO was superior to the Dk7088. In the diameters of cob the TRUENO presented higher averages the same thing happens with the length of the cob. In. short the hybrid TRUENO has a performance superior to hybrid DK7088
