Table 3 This table presents the performance of lines derived from 2-way, 4-way, and 8-way crosses, along with their founder lines, for key phenotypic traits evaluated across two consecutive post-rainy seasons in 2022 and 2023. The phenotypic traits assessed include: DFF: Days to 50% flowering; DM: Days to maturity; PH: Plant height in cm; PE: Panicle Exertion in cm; Ped.L: Peduncle Length in cm; PL: Panicle length in cm; PW: Panicle width in cm; PWt: Panicle weight in kg/ha; GY: Grain yield in kg/ha; SY: Stover yield in kg/ha; TW: 100 seed weight in gm. NC stands for National Check, and PLC stands for Popular Local Check. The top performing entries for the respective traits are highlighted with the # symbol, indicating that these entries have demonstrated the highest or most desirable values for the specific phenotypic characteristics evaluated in the study. Descriptive statistical parameters are presented as SE: Standard error; Min: Minimum; Max: Maximum; CV: Coefficient of variation.
