Determination of Some Agronomıcal Characteristics of Local Flint Corn (Zea mays L. indurata) Genotypes in The Black Sea Region of Turkey

In this study, 84 flint corn (Zea mays L. indurata) genotypes were used. Twelwe agronomical characteristics of 84 flint local corn genotypes were examined. Local corn genotypes were collected from 12 cities in the Black Sea Region in 2008 and field and laboratuary studies were completed in 2009. Variance analysis showed that there were high variations in most of the agronomical characteristics. At this study, plant height, ear height, stalk diameter, number of leaf per plant, ear length, ear diameter, number of row per ear, number of kernel rows per ear, rachis diameter, kernel weight in ear, grain yield per plant ranged between 102-374 (cm), 25-203 (cm), 8.7-40.4 (mm), 7.6-16.2 (number), 9.7-23.0 (cm), 31.7-49.8 (mm), 8-16 (number), 15-58 (number), 15.7-31.6 (mm), 23.6-186.8 (g), 26.9-197.7 (g/plant) respectively. It was concluded that local corn genotypes collected from The Black Sea Region could form a rich genetic base in improvement programmes
