Abstract
Forty two experimental hybrids generated through full diallel mating were evaluated in Randomized Block Design during kharif 2019 to study the magnitude of heterosis in sweet corn. Mid-parent heterosis ranged from -21 to 258 for DEW; -25 to 2 for GFW; 3 to 229 for GEY and standard heterosis ranged from 2.13 to 134.95 for DEW; 82.93 to 317.07 for GFW; -15.70 to 68.40 for GEY. Green ear yield exhibited positive significant correlation of mid-parent and commercial heterosis with NKPR, DEW and GFW in common, while no significant association between GEY and TSS was observed. The crosses KH1831 × SC Syn, SC Syn × SC Sel 2 and SC Sel 2 × SC Syn manifested highest mid-parent heterosis for de-husked ear weight, green ear yield and green fodder weight thus utilizing these hybrids in breeding programmes will serve for dual purpose of yield with fodder.

期刊介绍:
Bangladesh in situated on the north of Bay of Bengal. Climatically it is a humid subtropical country. Most of the land is deltaic plain of two great rivers, the Ganges and the Bhrammaputra and it tributaries. The country has rich diversity of plants. Main crops cultivated are Rice, Jute, Wheat, Maize, Sugarcane, Mustard and different kinds of Lentils. There are a good number of Public and Private Universities and Plant Research Establishments.
Bangladesh Journal of Botany is the official organ of the Bangladesh Botanical Society established in 1972. Since 1972 Bangladesh Journal of Botany is being published regularly. Two issues of the Journal are published, one in June and another in December.
Scientific papers (Full paper and short communication) on any field of Plant Sciences from anywhere in the World are considered for publication in Bangladesh Journal of Botany.
