Thus, the experiments</p><p>were stablished under alpha lattice designs 4 x 8 with 32</p><p>entries and two replications, in plots with two 5 m long rows</p><p>and 80 cm between them. The combined analysis for grain</p><p>yield showed highly significant differences for varieties (V),</p><p>locations (L) and for the interaction Vx L. Among the best</p><p>genotypes at 0.05 of probability are the normal synthetic</p><p>varieties formed with drought tolerant inbred lines, SINT 3</p><p>SEQ, VS-536 y SINT 9 SEQ and the high quality protein</p><p>maize varieties SINT 1 Q, V-537C, y V-537C Comp. 1.
