Table 3.

Mean values in the set of six selected genotypes of total grain weight per ear (GW_ear), the number of grains per ear (NG_ear) and thousand kernel weight (TKW) in control, shaded-ear and shaded-culm plants

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the effect of genotype and treatment is shown. Mean values with different superscripted letters are significantly different according to the Tukey’s honestly significant difference test (P<0.05). Experiment performed in the 2013 crop season.
