To identify promising hybrids of the Megathyrsus breeding program [Megathyrsus maximus (Jacq.) B. K. Simon & S. W. L. Jacobs (= Panicum maximum Jacq.)], 20 apomitic hybrids pre-selected from a population of 80 F1 hybrids were evaluated. This F1 population comes from the cross between a sexual gen...

The population Bh16b was formed from the remnant seed of the best crosses identified from Bh16 population. As the intra-family variance in that trial was higher than the inter-family variance, and considering the constrains to develop a new Bh hybrid population, the breeder decided to take advant...

With the overall aim to build the foundation of a breeding program for Megathyrsus maximus, during 2019 we formed the crosses required for the study of genetic parameters following a factorial genetic design. The structure of the crosses was the following, nine male-parent candidates where establ...
