Line × Tester Analysis for Identifying Turcicum Leaf Blight (TLB) Resistant Maize Genotypes and Developing Superior Hybrids

Pushkar Marapaka, A. Sai Harini, S. Sudheer Kumar, C. Anjali, P. Raghavendra & Ankem Himasira Chandrahas · Journal of Scientific Research and Reports · 2025

Maize (Zea mays L.) is globally recognized as the "queen of cereals" and is essential for food, livestock feed, and industrial raw material. Despite its importance, maize is vulnerable to numerous pathogens, with Turcicum Leaf Blight (TLB), caused by Exserohilum turcicum, posing...

Genetic Studies of Grain Yield and Resistance of Single Cross Maize Hybrids to Turcicum Leaf Blight

Pushkar Marapaka, A. Sai Harini, S. Sudheer Kumar, C. Anjali, P. Raghavendra & Ankem Himasira Chandrahas · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2025

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a vital cereal crop globally, yet its productivity is frequently constrained by foliar diseases such as Turcicum Leaf Blight (TLB), caused by Exserohilum turcicum. The present study is aimed to evaluate the genetic variability, combining ability, heterosis,...
