Analisis Korelasi Dan Sidik Lintas Beberapa Karakter Kuantitatif Tanaman Jagung (Zea Mays L.)
ABSTRACT
This study aims to determine the relationships among several quantitative characters and the direct and indirect effects on the yield of maize (Zea mays L.). The research was conducted at the Experimental Field of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Riau, from June to September 2024, using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 11 genotypes and three replications, resulting in 33 experimental units. The observed characters included days to tasseling, days to silking, plant height, leaf length and width, stem diameter, ear weight with and without husk, ear length and diameter, number of kernel rows, number of kernels per ear, 100-kernel weight, grain weight per ear, and yield per square meter. Data were analyzed using correlation and path coefficient analyses to determine the relationships among traits as well as their direct and indirect effects on yield. The results showed that traits such as plant height, leaf length, leaf width, stem diameter, and grain weight per ear had a significant positive correlation with yield per square meter. Grain weight per ear exhibited the highest direct effect on yield, while leaf length and width showed indirect effects through grain weight per ear. Therefore, these traits can be used as indirect selection criteria in maize breeding programs.
