Abstract

Popcorn is
different from other maize types with especially its popping ability. Popcorn
has special place in human nutrition by reason of the fact that nutrient
content. 

Evaluation of popcorn experimental hybrids in different geographical regions
gives breeders valuable clues in selection best hybrids for the target
environments. In the present study, 44 experimental hybrids plus 5 commercial
checks total 49 popcorn crosses were tested in there different geographical regions
of Turkey. The research was carried out in Samsun (Northern Turkey), Cankiri
(Middle Anatolia) and Antalya (Mediterranean of Turkey) ecological conditions
in 2016; Also quality studies of this research was carried out in Karaman in
2017. The field experiments were conducted in a 7×7 lattice design using three
replications. Grain yield of the hybrids were determined in field experiments.
Furthermore; popping volume, unpopped kernels ratio and kernel size as quality
traits were examined. According to the results, almost ten hybrids have
performed above standards. On the other hand, overall (field and laboratory)
results of the study revealed that TBCM2015-41, 56, 62, 76 and TBCM2015-80
experimental hybrids were promising popcorn hybrids for the tested
environments.  Prominent variety
candidates in the research will be tried to gain future agriculture of the
country.
