Abstract:
The potential lines of West Papua local waxy corn has been already obtained in the previous studies, but the yields have not been further tested. In seed certification for the release of varieties from plant breeding results, it is necessary to conduct multi location tests to obtain stable and superior yields in various locations.The aimof this researc histotest the continued yield of potential lines of West Papua's local waxy corn at several areas in West Papua Province.The study was conducted in Prafi and West Manokwari Districts. The method used was an observational method using a Randomized Complete Block Design of 2 factors: Factor 1 was treat mentof 7 local corn genotypes and factor 2 was treatment of 2 locations. Each treatment was repeated 3 times. Variables were observed included yield component sof the maize genotypes tested. The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA and if it had a significant effect, further BNJ test was performed at 95% confidence level. The results showed that productivity (seed weigh tha-1 ) of the 7 genotypes tested were: 1) Ranging from 2.72 ton sha-1 (KM-BC3F1) to 7.66 tons ha-1 (AM-BC3F1 ) in the Prafi District, 2) from 3.30 ton sha-1 (AP-BC3F1) to7.46 ton sha-1(KL) in the West Manokwari District, and 3) from 3.28 tons ha-1 (KM-BC3F1) to 5.92 tons ha-1 (AM-BC3F1) in the G x L interactions.GenotypeAM-BC3F1,AP-BC3F1, and P have higher productivity in Prafi District, on the contrary genotype KM-BC3F1,KP-BC3F1, AL, and KL have higher productivityin West Manokwari District.
