This study analyzes key traits of maize hybrids, including plant height, days to flowering, seed weight, and genetic distances between parent lines. We report correlations for various cross combinations, such as Oh43xB73 and B73xMo17, emphasizing their impact on traits like biomass and BPH percentage. Results indicate significant relationships, including R-values and associated p-values, providing insights into hybrid performance. This information is crucial for breeders aiming to enhance productivity and disease resistance in maize.
