From healthy food to potential culture, the popcorn crop search technologies that allow your expansion, however, the popcorn genotypes need still to be more explored, they are not yet enough to meet the production market needs. Therefore, new agricultural characteristics, technological adjustments of process among farmers, and specific agronomic research for popcorn cultivars will be fundamentals for Brazil to achieve self-sufficiency in the national popcorn business. The objective of this work was to identify the best popcorn maize cultivar to be grow in the state of Goiás, Brazil, through agronomic, physiological and corn stunting disease evaluations. Two experiments, one in northeastern Goiás, and one in southeastern Goiás, were conducted in randomized block desi... view more»
