Combining ability study for grain yield and agronomic traits of quality protein maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines adapted to mid-altitude agro-ecology of Ethiopia

April-June 2025 - Vol 17 Num. 2

In spite of the importance of quality protein maize to alleviate protein deficiency, almost all maize varieties cultivated in Ethiopia are normal maize varieties, which are devoid of lysine and tryptophan. Perusing combining ability of QPM inbred for grain yield and its components is vital to design appropriate breeding...
