In the original version of this article the caption of Figure 2 was duplicated. The caption of Figure 2 now reads:

Comparative boxplots of agronomic trait variation in F1 hybrids under timely and delayed sowing conditions. PH (plant height, cm); EH (ear height, cm); EP (ear position); EL (ear length, cm); ED (ear diameter, cm); NRE (number of rows/ear); NKR (number of kernels/row); and GY (grain yield).

The original article has been corrected.
