The objective of this study was to determine the stability of commercial and experimental maize hybrids in the Central Ecuadorian Coastal Region. During a period from december 2010 to april 2011 uniform trials of yield in four locations with contrasting environments were evaluated. The genetic material was constituted by five experimental hybrids and three commercial. The experimental design used was completely randomized blocks design with four replications; the experimental plots were two rows with a length of 5.0 m separated to 0.90 meters. The combined analysis of variance proposed by Eberhart and Russel was statistical significance as well as for genotype and for interaction. The average yield showed that between experimental hybrids two, (SM45 x SSD08)SV39 and (SM45 x SV15)SV39, were highlighted with averages higher than 7.0 t ha-1 whilst AG-003 was the highlighted commercial hybri...

The aim was to study the progress of the yellow spot, brown spot and leaf rust in wheat cultivar FUNDACEP 50 in Passo Fundo. Was evaluated the incidence of yellow spot [Drechslera tritici-repentis (Died) Drechs.] brown spot [Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc.)] and leaf rust [Puccinia triticina (Eriks)]. Values obtained were integralized as Area Under the Disease Incidence Progress Curve (AUDIPC) and to analyze the progress of the disease was considered the disease progress rate (r), which was obtained with the Logistic and Gompertz. Determination coefficients were high (0.93 to 0.98), as well as the mean square error (4.0706 to 7.6831). The r were 0.02 to 0.22 units, while the accumulated AUDIPC 787.5, 1216.3 and 1338.8 units for yellow spot, brown spot and leaf rust, respectively. The two models used satisfactorily explain the progress of yellow spot and brown spot, while the Gompertz explai...
