With the aim of evaluating the time in days to silking, plant height and lodging index of wheat genotypes, an experiment was conducted, in 2012, in the experimental field of Central Cooperative for Agricultural Research (COODETEC) in Palotina (Paraná, Brazil). The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with three replications, involving 15 treatments consisting of three cultivars – CD 150, Frontana and Mirante – and 12 parental lines derived from crosses of the cultivars CD 150 and Frontana. The analysis of variance showed differences among genotypes, indicating the presence of genetic variability for the traits days to silking and plant height. The crosses of CD 150 and Frontana resulted in lines from early to mid life cycle, with... |
