Abstract:

In order to ensure the continuous increase of maize yield, we studied the genetic yield gain and yield improvement potential of maize varieties in China from 1999 to 2018. Based on the large data platform of China Seed Industry and data of China National Bureau of Statistics, we analyzed the genetic yield gain and yield potential of national certified varieties over the last two decades. The results showed that totally 933 maize varieties were registered by the large data platform over the last two decades, the average unit yield was 9984.9 kg/hm2, and the annual genetic yield gain rate was 185.73 kg/hm2. The actual maize average unit yield in China was 5432.96 kg/hm2, which realized 54.41% of the yield potential of the national certified varieties. The regression equation between national certified varieties’ regional test unit yield and actually unit yield was y=0.3728x+1710.5, the yield of national certified varieties increased by 1 kg/hm2 in regional trail, the actual cultivation yield could increase about 0.3728 kg/hm2.

Key words: maize, national certified varieties, genetic yield gain, yield potential, regression analysis
