摘要

[Objectives]This study was conducted to select superior maize combinations.[Methods]With the control maize variety Haihe 2 in the middle altitude area of Yunnan Province as the control,adopting a single-factor randomized block three-replicate experiment design,a one-year field cultivation experiment was carried out in Luyin Village,Yongfeng Town,Zhaoyang District,Zhaotong City.[Results]A total of 11 new superior maize combinations including ZT-1 and ZT-2 were obtained.Through comprehensive comparison analysis with Haihe 2(CK),we selected six superior combinations of ZT-1,ZT-3,ZT-4,ZT-6,ZT-7 and ZT-9,which showed overall performance better than the control Haihe 2(CK)in terms of resistance,yield,and ear traits.[Conclusions]The selected 6 superior combinations have promotion value,and are recommended for higher-level trials and demonstrations.
