GENETIC VARIABILITY STUDIES OF SOME NIGERIAN SOYBEAN (GLYCINE MAX (L) MERRIL) ACCESSIONS

ABSTRACT Soybean is a very important leguminous seed crop; known for its highly valued protein and oil owing to its use in food, feed and industrial applications. The cultivation of soybean could be of great impact in  curbing  food  insecurity  and  its  improvement  could  be  of  great  benefit  to  humanity.  Genetic variability is the basic requirement for crop improvement as it provides wider scope for selection. Selection of traits through ...

PHENOTYPIC AND GENOTYPIC VARIABILITY STUDIES ON SOME RICE GENOTYPES IN LOW LAND ECOLOGY OF NIGERSTATE, NIGERIA

ABSTRACT Variability has been known as a tool for any crop improvement programme. Yield improvement can be ascertained if there is enough variability existing in a population. Therefore, this study was conducted to asses morpho-agronomic variations in the lowland rice genotypes in an Alpha lattice design with three replications. The experiment was conducted at National Cereals Research Institute Badeggi and Edozhigi in 2017. Parameters such as Days to 50 % ...
