Top 20 Maize Genotypes Heterosis for Grain Yield Under Drought

9.5 KB Excel file lists standard heterosis percentages for the top 20 maize genotypes for grain yield. The dataset includes a summary of genotypes showing positive and negative heterosis under optimal and drought conditions, estimated relative to the best check and the mean of checks. It was authored by Goshime Muluneh Mekasha and last updated on June 3, 2026.

Use Cases

• Rank maize genotypes for drought tolerance based on heterosis percentages under drought conditions.
• Compare hybrid performance against check varieties based on heterosis relative to the best check.
• Identify genotypes with positive heterosis for grain yield under optimal conditions.
• Analyze the relationship between heterosis and grain yield performance across different environmental conditions.
