Description Not Available
Maize genotype with effective tillers was developed from a natural mutant with ineffective
tillers at Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture, Hyderabad, India. Teosinte
(Zea mays ssp. luxurians), African tall (fodder maize) and Harsha (composite) were
included for development of CRIDA tillering maize viz., CRTM-2. Single plant of CRTM-
2 had five effective tillers similar to Teosinte, with a total height of 1223.5 cm, 62.0 leaves
and 25.8 filled cobs. CRTM-2 showed an increase of 530.3, 423.7 and 2086.0% over
Harsha, 388.0, 315.8 and 2350 % over African tall and 15.5, 34.1 and -53.0 % over
teosinte, for plant height, number of leaves and number of filled cobs respectively
averaged over four seasons viz., 2016 (kharif and rabi), 2017 kharif and 2018 kharif.
CRTM-2 had tillers like teosinte and the shape of cobs and seed type of maize. The
percentage of superiority of CRTM-2 for seed yield /plant was 227.8%, 27.4% and 22.5%
over Teosinte, African tall and Harsha respectively. It also showed superiority for total
biomass. It was 102.7%, 21.5% and 63.5% over Teosinte, African tall and Harsha
respectively. This tillering maize can be source material for innovative concept of
developing new tillering maize varieties with effective cobs and significantly higher
productivity and production of feed, fodder and food for animals, poultry and humans
apart from industrial uses.
