| Sumario: | [EN] Mass selection for earliness was carried out in two populations of maize (Zea mays L.) for six cycles. The original populations and the six cycles were studied in three environments. There were significant reduction in days to silking, plant height and yield for both populations and for grain moisture for only one of the populations. The gain for early silking has not lowered after six generations of selection. |
