Evaluation of Serbian commercial maize hybrid tolerance to feeding by larval western corn rootworm (diabrotica virgifera virgifera leconte) using me novel 'difference approach'
(Maydica-Ist Sper Cerealicoltur, Bergamo, 2010)
Since the discovery of the pest in 1992, western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte (WCR)) populations in Serbia have successfully been kept low with crop rotation. This has reduced the efficiency of ...
Problems in weed control in Serbian maize seed production
(Maydica-Ist Sper Cerealicoltur, Bergamo, 2007)
Weed control in the seed maize production is facing some specific problems. Maize inbred lines are known to be susceptible to many stress factors, including actively growing weeds and some herbicides. The slower growth of ...
Comparison of AFLP and SSR markers for genetic diversity studies in maize populations
(Maydica-Ist Sper Cerealicoltur, Bergamo, 2007)
Using a set of 18 maize populations belonging to six different agro-ecological groups we report on a comparison of AFLP and SSR techniques to evaluate their applicability for the study of genetic diversity. Also, a DNA-pooling ...
The effect of cycloxydim tolerant maize (CTM) alleles on grain yield and agronomic traits of maize single cross hybrid
(Maydica-Ist Sper Cerealicoltur, Bergamo, 2009)
Grain yield and some of the more important agronomic traits of four variants of a single cross maize hybrid, with different number of CTM (cycloxydim tolerant maize) alleles were studied, when different rates of herbicide ...
Inheritance of maize grain yield components
(Maydica-Ist Sper Cerealicoltur, Bergamo, 2007)
The mode of inheritance of maize grain yield and grain yield components, such as kernel-row number, number of kernels per row, and 1000-kernel weight, was determined by use of diallel crosses. Estimates of general (GCA) ...
The existence of a duplicated or parallel genetic system for fertility restoration in cmsC of maize (Zea mays L.)
(Maydica, 1997)
The inheritance of fertility restoration in cmsC in maize proved to be complex. Besides the group of three dominant complementary genes (Rf4, Rf5, Rf6), the data hitherto collected indicated that this system of fertility ...
Effect of planting dates on the level of European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis hbn.) Infestation, and crop injury and grain yield of maize (Zea mays l.)
(Maydica-Ist Sper Cerealicoltur, Bergamo, 2008)
Proper planting date is important for maize production. Therefore, field studies were conducted from 1995-2005 to determine the most suitable planting date for six maize hybrids (FAO 300-700 maturity groups) as influenced ...
European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis Hbn) population fluctuation at Zemun Polje between 1986 and 2005
(Maydica-Ist Sper Cerealicoltur, Bergamo, 2007)
The European corn borer (ECB) (Ostrinia nubilalis Hbn) is one of the most important pests of maize in Serbia. Therefore, it has been and continues to be an attractive subject of research. The flight of ECB adults has been ...
Factors contributing to the population changes of major maize pests in Serbia
(Maydica-Ist Sper Cerealicoltur, Bergamo, 2007)
Changes in pest populations occur on a regular basis and can be influenced by various biotic and abiotic factors, including human activites. The objective of this article was to outline several factors that contributed to ...
Maize core collection for increased grain quality
(Maydica-Ist Sper Cerealicoltur, Bergamo, 2015)
Formation of the maize (Zea mays L) core collection for increased macronutrient content is presented. Among 3,443 populations from Maize Research Institute (MRI), Zemun Polje (ZP), a total of 352 accessions (around 10.2%) ...
