Yield of maize popcorn varieties at different population densities in the High Valleys of Mexico: Yield of maize popcorn varieties

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the grain productivity of four varieties of popcorn maize (palomero UNAM, Puma Palomero, Palomero Oro, and Palomero Unamita) under three population densities. Design/methodology/approach: During the 2020 spring-summer agricultural cycle, the four varieties were evaluated in two different environments, using three population densities: 50,000, 65,000 and 80,000 plants ha-1. The experimental design employed was a completely randomized block design, with a factorial arrangement and four replications. Results: The results showed that the population densities of 65 and 80 plants per hectare were statistically similar, with yields of 6,340 and 6,357 kg ha-1 respectively, but significantly different from the density of 50,000 plants ha-1. Regarding the varieties, Palomero Unamita and Palomero Oro exhibited yields of 6,809 and 6,625 kg ha-1 respectively, which were significantly different from the other two varieties. Limitations of the study/implications: It is important to note that further evaluation of these varieties in different years and environments is needed to obtain more robust and generalizable results. Findings/conclusions: Based on the results obtained regarding yield, yield components, and outstanding vegetative characteristics, it can be concluded that there is a favorable perspective for the commercial use of the evaluated popcorn maize varieties in this study. Keywords: Zea mays L., productivity, popcorn varieties, seeds, High Valleys. RESUMEN Objetivo: el objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la productividad de grano de cuatro variedades de maíz palomero (palomero UNAM, Puma Palomero, Palomero Oro y Palomero Unamita) bajo tres densidades de población. Diseño/metodología/enfoque: durante el ciclo agrícola primavera-verano de 2020, se evaluaron las cuatro variedades en dos ambientes diferentes y se utilizaron tres densidades de población: 50, 65 y 80 mil plantas por hectárea. El diseño experimental utilizado fue de bloques completamente al azar, con un arreglo factorial y cuatro repeticiones. Resultados: los resultados mostraron que las densidades de población de 65 y 80 plantas ha-1 fueron estadísticamente similares, con rendimientos de 6,340 y 6,357 kg ha-1, pero difirieron significativamente de la densidad de 50 mil plantas por hectárea. En cuanto a las variedades, Palomero Unamita y Palomero Oro mostraron rendimientos de 6,809 y 6,625 kg ha-1. Limitaciones del estudio/implicaciones: es importante señalar que se requiere continuar evaluando estas variedades en diferentes años y ambientes para obtener resultados más sólidos y generalizables. Hallazgos/conclusiones: con base en los resultados obtenidos en cuanto al rendimiento, componentes de rendimiento y características vegetativas sobresalientes, se puede concluir que existe una perspectiva favorable para el uso comercial de las variedades palomeras de maíz evaluadas en este estudio.
